Creating a Curriculum Vitae (CV)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

While most undergraduate students will compose a resume, there are certain fields that may require a CV. A CV is typically required for academic positions, including teaching or research, as well as healthcare-related fields such as physician assistant and pharmacy. The biggest difference between the two is that a resume is a snapshot tailored to a specific role, whereas a CV is more of a complete list of everything you have accomplished or achieved. A resume is typically one or sometimes two pages, whereas a CV can be longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start building your CV, go to the main resume section<\/a> and follow the formatting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to the Guide to CV<\/a> for more detailed information and examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
