CVs can be produced in a different format for job applications outside of the UK. The equivalent of the CV in the US is the “resume”. This has the same objective of outlining job talents, work history, education and career goals, as well as how a candidate’s experience and skills would suit the job being advertised.

In the United States, a curriculum vita is used primarily when applying for academic, education, scientific or research positions.

It is also applicable when applying for fellowships or grants.

When applying for a job in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, employers and recruiters expect to receive a CV rather than a resume.

Remember that employers often expect to read personal information on a curriculum vitae that would not be included on an American resume, such as date of birth, nationality and place of birth.

United States law on what information job applicants can be asked to provide does not apply outside the country.

A CV is a longer, more detailed synopsis of your background and skills and includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds , teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations etc.

It can be up to two or more pages.

As with a resume, you may need different versions of a CV for different types of positions
Like a resume, curriculum vitae should include your name, contact information, education, skills and experience.

In addition to the basics, a CV includes research and teaching experience, publications, grants and fellowships, professional associations and licenses, awards and other information relevant to the position you are applying for.

Start by making a list of all your background information, and then organize it into categories.
Include dates on all the publications you mention.
