CV VS. RESUME

HERE ARE THE DIFFERENCES

article by Stacey Lastoe | TheMuse.com

“Um, what is a CV?” is a question job seekers often find themselves asking. Approach 10 professionals, and odds are high only one or two can tell you the real answer. Good news, you’re about to be one of those few people who know not just what the letters stand for, but how the CV compares to a resume, and whether or not you should have one.

Curriculum Vitae, more commonly referred to by its shorthand abbreviation CV (a Latin term meaning course of life), got tossed around a lot when I was in graduate school. I’m pretty sure I pretended to know what it meant the first time I heard it, only to go home to Google and educate myself before it came up in casual conversation again.

I quickly learned that dissertation-defending PhDs didn’t have resumes, they had CVs. Unlike the resume, which lists work history and experiences, along with a brief summary of your skills and education, the CV is a far more comprehensive document. It goes above and beyond a mention of education and work experience and often lists—in thoughtful detail— your achievements, awards, honors, and publications, stuff universities care about when they’re hiring teaching staff.

Unlike a resume, which is rarely longer than a one-sided single page, the CV can be two, six, or 12 pages—depending on your professional achievements.

Let’s go over some basics of the CV versus resume.

degree in hand and an I’ve-had-enough-of-that mindset, and they were quick to reiterate how important getting published is to one’s career, and, of course, the standard academic’s CV.

OK, Anyone Besides Academics?

You’re right, they’re not the only ones who choose the long (sometimes, very long) document over a resume. The website Undercover Recruiter explains that U.S. and Canadian residents need a CV if they’re applying to work abroad, specifically in the U.K., Ireland, and New Zealand. In these countries, “a CV is used in all contexts and resumes aren’t used at all.”

Moreover, “The CV prevails in mainland Europe and there is even a European Union CV format available for download,” a super helpful template if you’re confused about how to build one.

OPEN

What Is a CV?

As touched upon briefly above, CVs are primarily popular among academics, as graduate students often spend a lot of effort getting their work published during these postgrad years. While higher-education institutions undoubtedly evaluate a potential candidate’s grades and test scores, they’re also eager to see where an applicant’s been published.

“Publish or perish” was a popular sentiment during my two years in graduate school, and it appears not much has changed.

I spoke with a couple of my former classmates who went on to obtain doctorate degrees long after I’d left with a master’s

What’s the Difference Between a CV and a Resume?

Short answer: Length.

Long answer: The CV’s static in that it’s not a document needing to be tailored for different positions in the way that a resume is. Rather, according to UNC Writing Center, the CV’s a “fairly detailed overview of your life’s accomplishments, especially those most relevant to the realm of academia,” hence the variance in length; an early-stage grad student’s CV is going to be a lot shorter than a sixth-year student preparing to write a dissertation.

The document only changes as your accomplishments grow— you publish the findings of a scientific study, or a short story, or you receive an award as a Teaching Assistant—whereas a resume can and should be modified often as you job search and apply to different companies and positions. At The Muse, we highly encourage you to tailor your resume for each and every job you apply to, even if the job descriptions are similar.

(It’ll not only help you stand out, but also ensure you get through the ATS.) (article continued on Page 15)

CV VS. RESUME

(continued from Page 14)

But, How Do I Know When to Use Which?

Fortunately, if you’re still confused about where to begin, remember that almost any job you apply to will let you know what you need. It’s not typically a guessing game. When you apply for a job in New York City, or Minneapolis, or Austin, there’ll likely be clear language on what’s required with the application. Begin looking into overseas opportunities, and it’s probable that the application will explicitly state that you need to submit a CV or resume for consideration.

Seriously though, if you’re truly dumbfounded about what’s needed, it’s OK to ask the point of contact directly, “Would you prefer a resume or CV?” (And in America, the answer will almost always be “resume” since we know that recruiters don’t spend more than six seconds looking, anyways.)

it, but you’ll also have a running list of everything you’ve ever accomplished, a.k.a., a master resume to pull from as you tailor your own for specific positions.

And there you go, everything you ever wanted to know (plus more!) about the differences between a CV and a resume. 

Should I Have a CV Handy?

If you don’t currently have one, I’d recommend creating the doc just in case. You don’t have to stop everything you’re doing right this second, but the next time you go to modify your resume (a familiar and somewhat ongoing practice, I hope), start building it out. If nothing else, it’ll serve a dualpurpose: Not only can you have it handy if you do ever need

HERE’S HOW TO

TRANSLATE YOUR SKILLS FROM ONE INDUSTRY TO ANOTHER

article by Kat Boogaard | TheMuse.Com

You've decided you want to make a career change, and you know that you're going to need a polished resume to do so.

You sit down to make the updates, and it isn't long before you feel stuck. The blinking cursor on that blank page has been taunting you for at least a half hour now. You have no idea how to translate your existing experience and skills in a way that will grab the attention of a hiring manager in this entirely new industry.

The job search is always a little intimidating, especially so when you're aiming to make a switch. But rest assured, you absolutely can transfer your existing expertise and competencies to a brand new field—whether it feels that way or not.

Here's what you need to know to prove you're the perfect fit.

1. Identify Your Qualifications

The best place to start is reading the description for the position that you want and asking yourself: What boxes do I already check?

We're assuming that you aren't a former software developer applying for a role as a neurosurgeon or an airline pilot. So, even if this career change feels like a bit of a stretch, chances are good that you already possess at least a couple of straightforward qualifications that this role requires.

Pull out the requirements that you meet without a doubt—the ones where there's no need for you to draw any parallels or offer any explanations for the hiring manager, because you satisfy those qualifications without any questions asked.

Maybe you have those 10 years of leadership experience under your belt. Or, maybe you're a skilled public speaker as the job description requests. Put those things on your list.

This step is important, as it will arm you with the things that you want to draw the most attention to within your resume.

Zoning in on those qualities that make you an obvious fit will help you present yourself as a seamless hire—even with your less traditional experience.

2. Emphasize Results

Employers everywhere—regardless of specific industry— appreciate an employee who's able to get things done and produce results. That's universal.

For that reason, it's smart to highlight the results you achieved in your past positions—rather than simply listing the duties that you were responsible for. Particularly when you're changing industries, prospective employers will care more about what you actually accomplished, and less about how you specifically did it.

Let's look at an example for some added clarity. Kate previously worked in administration for a regional hospital, and is now aiming to make a change by applying for a sales position with a healthcare software company. She knows that her experience in the medical field will benefit her. But considering she's never worked in sales before, she's nervous about her perceived lack of qualifications.

Here's a bullet point from Kate's existing resume: Responsible for planning, organizing, and executing the annual hospital black tie gala. (article continued on Page 18

HAWAII EMPLOYMENT GUIDE 17

(continued from Page 17)

To emphasize results, Kate should quantify that point with some numbers while also tying it back to a larger, companywide objective. In doing so, that bullet point could look like this: Strengthened the hospital's relationship with 500+ donors, board members, and other external stakeholders by coordinating and executing the annual black tie gala.

Not only is that second option far more impressive, it also touches on some qualities that would also be important in a sales career—including relationship-building and organization.

3. Connect the Dots

When applying for a role in a different industry, your duty as the job seeker is to make your previous experience appear as relevant as possible. Often, this means that you need to quite literally connect the dots for the hiring manager and bridge the gap between what you possess and what that position requires.

In some cases, this means cutting out things that won't be applicable in your new industry—such as highly technical skills or specific pieces of software.

Then, challenge yourself to relate your existing experiences to this other field. Let's look back again at Kate. Based on her research, she knows that meeting quotas are a key part of success in sales. While she didn't need to meet specific sales goals in her previous role, she does have experience hitting fundraising goals. She could emphasize that in a bullet point like this one: Consistently achieved the hospital's yearly fundraising goal of $100,000 through successful relationship building, grant requests, and community events.

This statement proves a few important things about Kate that make her a fit for a sales role: She's inspired by difficultto-reach objectives, she recognizes the importance of relationships, and she's comfortable making requests.

4. Don't Neglect Your Soft Skills

It's easy to think of soft skills as those non-important requirements that your eyes glaze over, especially since they aren't as easy to quantify as more technical capabilities.

However, they really do carry weight in your job search. Think about it this way: Would a company want to hire a customer service representative who wasn't a skilled communicator?

Probably not.

The fact that soft skills matter is good news for you, as they are the easiest skills to transfer from role to role and industry to industry. Things like time management, problem solving, or critical thinking will be desirable in a wide variety of fields.

18 HAWAII EMPLOYMENT GUIDE

HOW TO TRANSLATE YOUR SKILLS While your resume can't be filled with only these softer proficiencies, calling attention to those solid qualities can help to fill in some gaps and present you as a well-rounded and qualified candidate—even if the rest of your experience is a little out of the box.

Making the switch to a new industry can inspire some sweaty palms and shaky knees. But, don't beat yourself up over the fact that you don't fit perfectly into the mold of people who normally fill those positions.

Instead, place your emphasis on your passion for this new field as well as the valuable things that you do bring to the table. Do that, and you're sure to eventually catch the eye of a hiring manager who understands that you don't need to be predictable to be qualified. 
