Differences between a resume, curriculum vitae (CV), and a portfolio

• A resume is a summation of your work history and education, typically no longer than 2 pages.
• A curriculum vitae is used by higher education and more professional positions to summarize education received, classes taught, certifications, professional publications, and speaking engagements.
• A portfolio is a collection of work samples typically organized in a 3 ring binder. Portfolios may be brought out at interviews to show examples of work. Typical contents of portfolios include:
  1. licensures
  2. certifications
  3. letters of recommendation
  4. media samples
  5. written samples
  6. other past work accomplishments.
