A curriculum vitae (CV) and resume are documents used to communicate your work history, education, skills and achievements to a prospective employer, or for entry into a program such as graduate school. In the USA, a distinction is made between a CV and a resume, with the former being a long summary of your entire career while the latter is a shortened version specific to the job being applied for. Most templates in this category can be used as both CVs or resumes by including more or less information as required.
