A curriculum vitae is a more in-depth detailing of your schooling and professional accomplishments than a regular resume. When looking for a job a resume is sufficient, but if you are seeking employment in an academic atmosphere or for a research position then a curriculum vitae should be used. If you're a bachelor or master's degree candidate, it should be 2-3 pages in length. While doctoral
. candidates vitae should be 2-5 pages long. The lengthiest CV would be necessary for a researcher; 5 or more pages of information is expected. There are some CV layout templates available at this website: http://hubpages.com/hub/CV_Layout_Hints_and_Tips.
