Writing a CV (or a resume)

A resume or Curriculum Vitae (CV) is a detailed record of personal accomplishments. It presents briefly what the person has achieved in education, job experience, special honors, publications, and includes professional activities (such as conferences attended), personal information, and perhaps even outstanding achievements in the person’s area of special interests or hobbies. A CV may be short – no more than two pages, but preferably one (then it is often called a resume). It may be long – up to 20 pages and even more – and then it is always called a CV. A CV begins with personal details (name, date of birth, marital status, and contact information). Sometimes after that career objectives are written and time of availability is noted (i.e., when the applicant can start the new job). Next, the person may describe his/her education and work (or professional experience.). In this section everything is usually written in reverse chronological order: the last educational institution you attended or the last place you were employed are indicated first, while your first educational institution or your first place of employment are listed last. The information about education should include degrees held, honors received, and qualifications gained. Employment information should describe responsibilities and make clear what professional skills you have, including specific responsibilities. The employment information may be followed by information on other skills, such as computer skills or fluency in a foreign language. The next item is information about your interests and hobbies. It gives your perspective employers some idea of your intellectual scope and physical fitness (if you included sport interests).

At the end, references are usually cited.
