A curriculum vitae (CV) summarizes a job applicant's professional experience and educational background with an emphasis on qualifications, particularly for academic or scientific positions. Unlike resumes, CVs are typically longer, detailing publications, research, teaching, and honors, aimed at fellow academics for faculty jobs or fellowships. A one-page CV summary may be requested by organizations expecting many applicants.
