In the United States and Canada,a CV is used in academic circles and medical careers as a"replacement"for a resume and is far more comprehensive; the term resume is used for most recruitment campaigns.A CV elaborates on education to a greater degree than a resume and is expected to include a comprehensive listing of professional history including every term of employment,academic credential,publication,contribution or significant achievement.In certain professions,it may even include samples of the persons work and may run to many pages.Many executives and professionals choose to use short CVs that highlight the focus of their lives and not necessarily their employment or education.
The European Union developed a standardized CV format known as Europass,based on a Decision(adopted in 2004 by the European Parliament and European Commission)and promoted by the EU to ease skilled migration between member countries.As of July 2012,more than 20 million CVs have been completed online.
The Europass CV system is meant to be just as helpful to employers and education providers as it is to students and job seekers.It was designed to help them understand what people moving between countries have to offer,while overcoming linguistic barriers.
Some companies produce their own application form which must be completed in applying for any position.Of those,some prefer not to receive a CV at all,but some also allow applicants to attach a CV in support of the application.These companies prefer to process applications this way so they can standardize the information they receive,since CVs are written in many different styles.A CV on its own,therefore,may not give a company all the information it needs at the application stage.
