A curriculum vitae is often used within academic circles to accompany applications -- either for jobs or for admission to a particular program.  A "c.v.", as it is usually abbreviated, differs from a resume in a few salient points. First,  no goal or objective should be listed at the top.  The parties receiving your c.v. will assume that you want either the job or admission to the program for which you are applying.   The c.v. also focuses more on your academics than a resume format does.   Make your spacing and headings clear, and stay as close 1-2 pages as possible, but list the relevant information. The suggested format is below.
