CV Definition
Many people are confused writing a CV or a resume when they want to apply for a job. Actually, it is possible that you may not even know what the difference is between the resume and a CV so let us take some CV definition that you can understand.
CV stands for Curriculum Vitae. This is actually just another term for resume which a lot of people already denote to a paper document that represents their qualifications for a job position. So in the end, you can use CV and resume terms alternatively. No matter how you want to call it, the same information will need to be included in the document for you to express your skills and qualifications.
A CV definition is not all there is to know about writing a good resume. Actually, the definition itself is not really important to know because the main content of your resume is the next big thing to address. So what are the basic parts of a CV? Just like writing a resume, you need to input your profile; name, address and contact details. Then you must provide your goal or intention for applying to a job. Next in line is the work experience that you had before and then followed by the education background. These two parameters of information can be reversed if you want to highlight your education background first. Afterward, you may then proceed to write your competencies and skills.
The CV is the first thing that an employer uses to screen out potential applicants. If the hiring personnel were attracted to the content of your CV, then you may expect to get an interview invitation soon. Aside from the resume of course, you can attach a cover letter that will generally discuss in detail all the things that you want to share with the employer to increase your chances of getting hired.
If you are still not satisfied with the CV definition, you can always take a look at our Archives or Samples pages for your reference.
