what is a CV
ChatGPT said:
A CV — short for Curriculum Vitae — is a detailed document that outlines a person’s educational background, work experience, skills, publications, honors, and other professional achievements.
🔍 Key Points:
- Used for academic, research, medical, and international job applications
- More detailed than a résumé, often 2+ pages
- Commonly required in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, and for academic or scientific roles in the U.S. and elsewhere
🧾 Typical Contents of a CV:
- Contact Information
- Education (degrees, institutions, dates)
- Work Experience
- Research/Teaching Experience (for academic CVs)
- Publications and Presentations
- Grants and Fellowships
- Awards and Honors
- Professional Affiliations
- Skills (languages, technical, etc.)
- References (optional or available upon request)
🇺🇸 vs 🌍 CV vs Résumé:
- In the U.S., a résumé is a 1–2 page summary of relevant work experience tailored to a specific job.
- In most other countries, “CV” and “résumé” are used interchangeably, but a CV is generally more comprehensive.
