The Tips You Need to Write a CV
September 27th, 2008

Learning how to write a CV, a good one, is absolutely imperative.  These days, if you want to get a dream job, you absolutely have to have an excellent CV to go along with your resume.  But how can you do that, especially if you are not experienced with writing one?  Actually, it is incredibly easy – especially if you adhere to the following tips.

The first step in learning to write a CV is understanding the difference between a CV and a resume.  A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they are exactly the same, but that is not at all true.  Succinctly, the difference lies in length.  Your curriculum vitae can be significantly longer, in the scheme of things, than your resume.  The latter should never exceed more than two pages; generally, one and a half pages are idea.  However, with your CV, you get to include all those important little details which can mean the difference between missing out on an interview and getting called back for one.
