Introduction
In the technology industry, a curriculum vitae, or CV, may be used instead of a résumé for professionals in academia or research. The CV may also be used by technology professionals working in certain industries such as medicine or bioinformatics. The CV or curriculum vitae is commonly used outside the United States. Some PhD graduates in the United States use a shorter CV instead of a résumé.
Different from a résumé
There are many differences between a CV and a résumé, and these differences will help highlight the different formatting of the CV. The CV typically contains much more personal information than a résumé. The CV also places a strong emphasis on education and research, while the résumé focuses more on summarizing your work history. The CV will not include an objective and will not contain a profile. The CV is often very lengthy, while a résumé is usually a summary of one to two pages. However, the CV should be well-organized with clear headings.
Typical Sections
The CV often contains many more categories of information than the résumé. Experience can be divided between teaching and research titles; education can be divided between degrees and continuing education or advanced training.
Outside the United States, it is common to include a photograph and personal details in the CV. Personal information such as gender, date of birth, marital status, and even names and ages of children is not uncommon. Hobbies and outside interests appear in the CV more frequently than in a résumé. It is also common to include hobbies and interests that show either the diversity of the candidate or correlate with the candidate’s experience. For example, it is common for electrical engineers to build and fly model airplanes. Many computer science students are also very interested in music.
General CV Format
Here are some general guidelines for formatting the CV, presented in the order typically seen in a CV:
Contact Information: At the top of each page of the CV, you should include your name and “Curriculum Vitae” heading, as well as your contact information (which can include your current address, permanent address, phone numbers, fax number, and email address).
Career or Research Objectives: This section of the CV displays the reason you have authored and distributed the CV. Your objective can be brief as a single sentence (if general) or lengthy as a paragraph. This section should provide an overview of your intellectual interests and experience.
Education: The education section of the CV serves as a means to provide a more detailed picture of your education compared to the résumé. If you are working towards a master’s or doctorate degree, place this information before your undergraduate information. Some elements that can be included here are degrees and dates received; names of universities, colleges, or professional programs attended; title of dissertation or master’s thesis; degree program (in graduate school) and your major/minor (university).
Awards and Honors: Such as departmental awards, fellowships, dean’s lists, scholarships, and memberships in academic honor societies.
Doctoral Dissertation or Thesis Summary: A paragraph or two, including the title and date of completion.
Research Interests: Tailor details of your research interests to your audience.
Research or Laboratory Experience: Detail your laboratory experience or other types of practical research. Within each project title, note whether it has been published in any journal, as well as names of mentors or other supervisors and whether the project is ongoing.
Experience
Work: Any work experience outside the research or academic environment should also be included here.
Teaching Interests and Experience: List any teaching experiences you can appropriately document (include course title and a brief description, if necessary). You may also include teaching experience or group leader experience.
Specialized Skills: List all skills – interpersonal, leadership, organizational, academic, analytical – and their applications.
Publications, Presentations, and Works in Progress: Provide appropriate references for any publications you have submitted or co-authored. If you have any works under consideration for publication, include them as well. For papers presented at academic conferences or professional associations, mention the title, conference name, conference location, and date.
Professional Associations or Memberships: Membership in professional associations should be listed as a separate component in your CV. If you are not a member of any professional organization, identify which ones are important for your field and how you can become eligible for membership.
Background: This usually includes personal information that does not fit in other parts of the CV, including nationality, extended residency or study abroad, and unusual work or educational experiences.
Community Service: If you have significant volunteer experience or community contributions, place them in a separate section away from the work experience section. This may include membership in campus-level organizations (generally those that are service-oriented).
Formatting Guidelines
Activities: Record all clubs you have been active in. If they include officer positions, record those as well.
Travel: Some of this may be covered in the background section. Do not include tourist visits here, but record study abroad experiences. Include cities and states or regions and countries in alphabetical order. Briefly describe the experience and the duration of your visit.
References or Letters of Recommendation: This optional section records individuals you have asked to write recommendations for you. You should obtain permission to use individuals as references. Include the person’s name and job title. You may also use a general phrase here such as “References available upon request.”
Examples of Section Titles
Depending on your background and field of expertise, there may be other sections you wish to include when formatting your CV. This may also depend on the purpose of your CV. For example, if your CV is for a job search, you may want to include one set of information, but if your CV is for admission to a graduate study program, you may want to include different information. Below is a list of other section titles you may want to consider for your CV:
Degrees

If you have done any design work or artwork of any kind, you should also include a link to your online portfolio in your CV. It is common to include a link to an online portfolio for UX designers, web designers, as well as human factors engineers and others who may have a design style they wish to showcase.
