b'Curriculum Vitae (CV) Guide\n\nWhen applying for a job, especially internationally, or applying to a graduate/professional school, a CV may be\nrequested.

There is no set formula for\nwriting a CV; however viewing samples within your disciplinary area may help.\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nDIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CV AND A RESUME\n\nCVs are longer in length and are more comprehensive than a resume. Resumes are generally limited to one\npage, whereas a CV is two or more pages.\nCVs contain greater detail, whereas resumes provide a concise snapshot of your experience.
