A '''curriculum vitae''' ({{IPAc-en|lang|pron|k|ə|ˈ|r|ɪ|k|j|ʊ|l|ə|m|_|ˈ|v|iː|t|aɪ|,_|-|ˈ|w|iː|t|aɪ|,_|-|ˈ|v|aɪ|t|iː}})<ref name="merriam-webster">{{cite web|url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/curriculum+vitae |title=Curriculum Vitae | Definition of Curriculum Vitae by Merriam-Webster|publisher=merriam-webster.com|accessdate=27 June 2016}}</ref><ref name="ahdictionary">{{cite web|url=https://www.ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=curriculum%20vitae |title=American Heritage Dictionary Entry: curriculum vitae|publisher=ahdictionary.com|accessdate=27 June 2016}}</ref> (often shortened '''CV''', '''résumé''' or '''vita''') is a written overview of a person's experience and other qualifications for a job opportunity. It is akin to a [[résumé]] in North America. In some countries, a CV is typically the first item that a potential [[employer]] encounters regarding the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an [[job interview|interview]]. CVs may also be requested for applicants to postsecondary programs, scholarships, grants and bursaries. In the 2010s, some applicants provide an electronic text of their CV to employers using [[email]], an online [[employment website]] or using a job-oriented [[social networking service|social-networking-service]] [[website]], such as [[LinkedIn]].

In the [[United Kingdom]], most [[Commonwealth countries]], and [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]], a CV is short (usually a maximum of two sides of [[ISO 216|A4]] paper), and therefore contains only a summary of the job seeker's employment history, qualifications, education, and some personal information. Some parts of Asia require applicants' photos, date of birth, and most recent salary information. CVs are often tailored to change the emphasis of the information according to the particular position for which the job seeker is applying. A CV can also be extended to include an extra page for the jobseeker's publications if these are important for the job.
In the [[United States]], [[Pakistan]], [[Canada]], [[Australia]], [[Germany]], [[India]], and [[Cuba]] a CV is a comprehensive document used in academic circles and medical careers that elaborate on education, publications, and other achievements. A CV contains greater detail than a [[résumé]], a shorter summary which is more often used in applications for jobs, but it is often expected that professionals use a short CV that highlights the current focus of their academic lives and not necessarily their full history. A CV is generally used when applying for a position in academia, while a resume is generally used when applying for a position in industry, non-profit, and the public sector.<ref name="ucdavis">{{cite web|url=https://icc.ucdavis.edu/materials/resume/resumecv.htm|title=Resume vs. Curriculum Vitae: What's the Difference? | Internship and Career Center|publisher=icc.ucdavis.edu|accessdate=27 June 2016}}</ref>
== Etymology, spellings and pronunciation ==
''Curriculum vitae'' is a [[Latin]] expression which can be loosely translated as ''[the] course of [my] life''. In current usage, ''curriculum'' is less [[markedness|marked]] as a foreign [[loanword]]. Traditionally the word ''vitae'' is rendered in English using the [[Ligature (typography)|ligature]] [[æ]], hence ''vitæ'',<ref>[[List of words that may be spelled with a ligature]]</ref> although this convention (curriculum vitæ) is less common in contemporary practice.
The plural of ''curriculum vitae'', in Latin, is formed following Latin rules of grammar as ''curricula vitae'', and is used along with ''curricula vitarum'',<ref name=aueFAQ>{{cite web|url=http://alt-usage-english.org/excerpts/fxplural.html |title=alt.usage.english FAQ |accessdate=2 June 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120403101518/http://www.alt-usage-english.org/excerpts/fxplural.html |archivedate=3 April 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> each of which is debated as being more grammatically correct than the other.
In English, the plural of the full expression curriculum vitae is seldom used; the plural of ''curriculum'' on its own is usually written as "curricula",<ref name="AHD">''American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language'', Fourth Edition, Houghton Mifflin, 2009</ref> rather than the traditional ''curriculums''.<ref name="OED">''[[OED]]'', 2nd edition, [[Oxford University Press]], 1989</ref>
