I have used a brief version for many purposes including grant applications where they don't actually want a long version but it depends upon the job you are applying for. I imagine someone looking for a job on the supreme court would have to submit a full resume. My wife recently asked me to edit through her cv when she was applying for a chair position at a major medical school and we both figured they would want no less than the full and expanded version (the cv covered 35 years and was multiple inches thick and she got the job, BTW).
Bill Scott >>> <[email protected]> 07/20/09 6:42 PM >>> Indeed, I have a full version and a short version trimmed of conference presentations more than 5 or 6 years old and mentored presentations/publications. But since I have few enough publications--no more than dozen--I keep 'em all :) I think that once the list gets past 20 or so, you can trim selectively to more important ones.
