Frequently Asked Questions

Verified answers on country CV conventions, photo rules, privacy, and downloads.

In the United States, a "resume" (typically 1-2 pages) is used for most job applications, while a "CV" (Curriculum Vitae) is used in academic, medical, and research contexts and can be much longer. In the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most other English-speaking countries, "CV" is the standard term for the job application document, equivalent to what Americans call a resume. European countries use "CV" as well, with the Europass template being a recognized standard across EU member states.
