What's a CV??

As in:

"Please forward your CV, times that you would be available to work during the summer and a description of your specific interests in science"

Gracias!

Essentially a resume. I think they call resumes CV's overseas more then in America though.

Yeah over here in the UK we use the term CV or "Curricullum Vitae" much more than resume but it amounts to the same thing!

curriculum vitae

it's similar to a resume, but it is focused on your education and experience in academia, research (as opposed to just working...)

it's basically resume for people in academia.. however if you are not in academia, it is not just your resume. because you wouldn't put something like "sales manager - best buy" on a CV
