9. Curriculum vitae.
A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. The purpose of the CV is to inform prospective employers of a job seeker’s qualifications and experience for a position.
In the United Kingdom a CV is short(usually a maximum of 2 sides of A4 paper), and therefore contains only a summary of the job seeker’s employment history, qualifications and some personal information. In the United States and Canada, a CV is used specifically in academic circles and medical careers and is far more comprehensive.
Begin your CV with personal details including your name, address, telephone, email address and date of birth. Some people also include their place of birth, nationality and identity number. Your CV can also include an objective, describing the type of work you are hoping to do.
The middle section of your CV gives details of your work experience and education. List your training, qualifications and work experience in reverse chronological order.
End with other relevant information and your references. Watch out for grammar and spelling mistakes.
