This question is about use cv versus resume.

Which is better a CV or a resume?

By Zippia Team - Dec. 7, 2022

It depends, but neither a CV nor a resume is inherently better than the other. CVs and resume are good for specific scenarios. A CV is good if you plan to go into academia. A resume is good for most people looking for work in the United States. This means a resume is more practical, though not necessarily better, than a CV in the United States.
