CVs are much more common for academic positions but I’ve also seen them required for very specialized roles.

By saying that I didn’t realize it was different in Europe. Often when we (Canada) do something different than the US, it’s because it’s closer to how it’s done in Europe and I assumed this was one of those cases.
I’m planning on looking into this more when I have some free time as I’d like to understand where our approach to both documents came from.
