Applications for academic positions require a CV, and some alternative-academic employers also require them. Learn how a CV differs from a resume, about hybrid CV-resumes, what goes on a CV, and what order to put information depending on type of academic institution you’re applying to and for what type of position. Also, check out the information in the website Academic Job Market Success created by retired UCSC Student Affairs and Success Assistant Vice Chancellor Gwynn Benner, the CV Writing section, and view the video about CV Writing created by Gwynn Benner.
