Has anyone ever heard of "CV" in reference to a job application? (i.e.: "send CV/resume to....")

CV means curriculum vitae, "British" for resume>

I know you have it, but I always thought CV was the abbreviation for Cover Letter. Wouldn't it be CL then?

What's the difference between a resume and a CV? The primary differences are the length, the content and the purpose. A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. A goal of resume writing is to be brief and concise since, at best, the resume reader will spend a minute or so reviewing your qualifications.
A Curriculum Vitae, commonly referred to as CV, is a longer (two or more pages), more detailed synopsis. It includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details.


Good Luck LHPM ;)

Why would you want to give a prospective employer a 2+ page long resume? I (and most other employers) only want to see a 3/4 - 1 page resume. I don't care what you call it, it'd still be 2 pages long.

It depends on what job you're applying for. When I was in construction, a resume was what they wanted. They didn't need a detailed list of awards and accomplishments. IF I ever go into teaching at the college level, though, they're going to want to see more, because they take months, rather than weeks, looking these positions over.

my father-in-law is an Senior VP of an electric company, and when he sends out resumes, they're always at least five pages long, and that's about the minimum that his prospective employers want to see.

Exactly. That's probably a job they take longer to look over than anything I've done. When it's a position that high up in a company and/or that exclusive (i.e. There are only a few to hand out), it tends to be a more in-depth process.

I guess it all depends on what kind of job a person is applying for. I won't speak for all employers, but if I were in a hiring position (in my line of work at least) the more info on a prospective employee I could get, the better.

In North America, the terms "résumé" and "CV" may be used interchangeably. However, a résumé more often has a free-form organizational style and is used for seeking employment in the private sector, whereas a curriculum vitae usually has a more standardized look and format for the purpose of seeking positions in academic or educational institutions
