Preparing a Curriculum Vitae - Proven Success Strategies
A curriculum vitae -- categorised as a CV or vita -- is often used more for scientific and teaching positions than a resume. Thus, vitas often provide great detail about academic and research experiences. Where resumes tend toward brevity, vitas lean toward completeness.
Unlike resumes, there is absolutely no set format to vitas. Even if this article will give you a couple of links to free samples vitas, it's best to also discuss any special formatting your field requires having a mentor or trusted an affiliate your network. There's also a number of books that provide far more depth on the subject -- plus they are available after this short article.
While vitas will not have the one-page rule of resumes, you have to walk the fishing line between providing a top quality of depth to showcase your qualifications and attract potential employer interest and providing a lot of information thus appearing verbose and turning off potential employer interest.
