basics
A CV – or Curriculum Vitae – is an itemized
list of a person’s entire education,
publications, accomplishments, notable
projects, awards, honors, achievements, and
professional experiences
In this document you’re focusing mainly on
the academic side
For someone at the entry level this will
probably result in two to four pages, and
someone well into their career could have
more than ten pages
There is no length limit for a CV, it all
depends on an individual’s level of
experience. Academia is often the only
industry that will request a CV in the United
States.
