    That brings up an interesting issue - we wrote the content for our US audience, as we do not have experience with job seeking in other countries. In the US, CVs are more typically used for jobs an academic institutions, with resumes common in most other places.

    What are some of the differences between a Resume and a CV? What is different about the job seeking process?

    from working in hospitals, particularly teaching hospitals, I know that physicians use CV’s and that they include journal articles that the writer has had published (whether as part of a team or solo)and research projects (which are generally connected to articles or grants awarded).
