(no subject) [puszysty]

Please provide a resume detailing any significant vocational, nonvocational, extracurricular or community activities, graduate work or degrees, honors, awards, any service in the Armed Forces, job descriptions and major areas of responsibility along with dates of employment (month/year), publications, or other information that you believe the Admissions Committee should consider in evaluating your application. Also please include details as to any foreign language proficiencies you possess including the level of ability with regard to speaking, comprehension, reading and writing. Your resume may not exceed three (3) typewritten pages.

Is it just me, or are they asking for my CV? My resume is only 1 page, and doesn't go into too much detail. I've always been taught that a resume should only be 1 page, and a CV can go into details. However, I don't have too many honors or awards (which are listed on my resume), no Armed Forces service, publications, or community activities beyond Meals on Wheels, and thusly my CV mainly details my coursework relevant to whatever position I was applying for.
So.
What do I submit? Resume or CV? And do I retailor it from job-focused or school-focused, or leave it as is?

I have never understood the difference, other than that resume is used in business, and CV in academe. And I have heard that resumes 'may' go longer than 1 page these days.

Have you tried calling the school and asking for more info? In my experience, asking for more info to make sure that you are giving admissions committee people exactly what they need is wise.

It's probably a good idea to adjust your resume/CV for every application, if there is an adjustment to be made - make sure it's really focused on that particular job/whatever.

Sounds like a CV to me.

That being said, the name of the document is not terribly important (unless you put "CV" or "resume" on top, and personally, I don't). I basically have a detailed version and a short version of the same document and submit whichever seems to have the information they're asking for.
