CV vs Resume

In the United States, a Curriculum Vitae (CV) is often used for academic jobs while a resume is often used for non-academic jobs. Outside the US, the terms CV and resume can be more interchangeable.

Cover letters for non-academic jobs are relatively short, certainly not over one page in length, more often just three to four paragraphs long.
