Typically, a resume will be used. A resume is a synopsis of your education and work experience. This is fine for most non-academic jobs.

Academic work will typically require a CV.

Do you need a CV? You will if...

• you have teaching/research experience

• you have publications, posters, or papers in the literature

• you have awards, honors, etc. 

You may desire multiple versions of your resume/CV to highlight different aspects of your experiences.
