Curriculum Vitae• Curriculum Vitae vs. Resume
– CVs are more than one page– CVs list all credentials and experiences, which
speak for you– CVs are understated and do not include any hint of
bragging or self-importance– CVs rarely list an “objective”– CVs are relatively plain; keep it formal and
traditional– CVs are about content, not form.– Make the information easily accessible
