CVs
Job application documents
CVs is the plural of CV, short for curriculum vitae—a document summarizing a person's education, work history, and qualifications.
In American English, CV typically refers to the detailed academic version used for scholarly or research positions, while résumé covers most job applications.
British English uses CV for both: Send your CVs to the hiring manager.
