CV?

I just had a professor that is writing a LOR for me ask for a CV. After a Google search, I now know what that is. What all do I need to include on a CV?

    If you have a resume that can also work instead of a CV.

    Resume is a CV. CV is a more european form of a resume, with slight changes in format. CV is a name for resume used in UK mostly. In case of your professor, I am sure he/she refers to regular resume.

    Technically this is true but the main difference is a resume is very brief and should be two pages maximum while a CV is very in-depth and more often than not exceeds two pages. For example, a professor of a university will have a CV while someone fresh out of undergrad will usually have a resume :)
