What the vice president had is a resume, not CV.

A resume is the summary of your experience, skills and education which is mostly a page or two pages.

When you are asked to submit your CV, you wanna be more detailed especially in your experience, skills and education.

CVs can't be less than two pages except if you use tiny fonts.

Nice points btw

Thank you for those clarifications. I'm positive those who didn't know the difference between a Résumé and a CV will know now.

You are correct on both counts.

Thanks again for your insightful comments. #Insidify

You are correct. It may not mean you are tutoring but, because you won't be there to state that, it is better to err on the side of caution.

You don't need to head it with anything, just delve right into it with your name...

The email subject should already take care of the heading.

Thank you for your comments.

wrote an application letter in the morning, submitted it that day, was offered the job that day, posted to a department that day, reported to the HOD and was assigned to a unit that day. had to begged for 2 day grace to go and sort out myself.
got to know about CV only when i wanted to join academics, even that one was at the point of 'documentation' after i was offered the job.
good luck to all of us

Hello insidifyguru, are you an HR?
I usually see CV dos and don'ts here each time I login. Does this really count?
Well, for me, I would say that, those rules don't usually count. It's GOD's FAVOUR that counts. I wrote "Curriculum Vitae" on my CV and I got my first job in Lagos. That is GOD's FAVOUR.

Okay,how do you explain this?
A lady walked into an interview hall, the panelists started praising her saying that "you are the best match for this job, well dressed, etc immediately they asked her to sit down, she replied, thank you". All of a sudden, they(panelists) said to her that "We are sorry for have wasted your time, we don't need people like you here, thank you". Next person please? That was the end of the interview. Not up to 5minutes.

Thank you so much for your comment. It is very possible that this happened, but it is more likely that the person in question was not seeking an entry-level position. That nothwithstanding, it is better to err on the side of caution. I have also read about someone who had been a Vice President at Goldman Sachs for over 14 years and had a CV of just 1 page.

Thanks again. #Insidify

Yes someone that have worked 14yrs or even 30yrs in one company has no reason to exceed 1 or 2 pages. But someone who have worked in 3 or 4 different companies with diverse responsibilities sure need to prove a point on his cv which may increase the pages to 3,4 or 5. Hope u agree with me
