A résumé should be a brief document succinctly summarizing an individual's education, employment history, and experiences relevant to a specific employment position. The curriculum vitae (CV), as the Latin term implies, is an overview of a person's lifetime of professional activities. The CV is an ongoing documentation of one's employment, education, teaching, publications, honors, and volunteer activities.
