A curriculum vitae (or) (often shortened CV or vita) is a written overview of a person's experience and other qualifications for a job opportunity.

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 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' website, such as LinkedIn.

A cover letter, covering letter, motivation letter, motivational letter or a letter of motivation is a letter of introduction attached to, or accompanying another document such as a résumé or curriculum vitae.

A résumé (or; less frequently or), also spelled resume, is a document used by a person to present their backgrounds and skills.

Résumés can be used for a variety of reasons, but most often they are used to secure new employment.

A typical résumé contains a "summary" of relevant job experience and education, as its French origin (and its translation into Spanish as "resumen") implies.

The résumé is usually one of the first items, along with a cover letter and sometimes an application for employment, which a potential employer sees regarding the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview.

The curriculum vitae (CV) used for employment purposes in the UK (and in other European countries) is more akin to the résumé—a shorter, summary version of one's education and experience—than to the longer and more detailed CV that is expected in U.S. academic circles.

Generally, the résumé is substantially shorter than a CV in English Canada, the U.S. and Australia.
