A CV is an abbreviation for Curriculum Vitae. A CV is a summary of one's education, professional history, and job qualifications, as presented to a prospective employer. A CV is also referred to as a resume
If you are seeking employment you should consider making a Curriculum Vitae (CV) instead of a resume. Common Sections in a CV are Contact Information A CV must include your name, address, phone number, and e-mail address. Education This is a very important section for a CV. It must include all academic qualifications, with the name of the institute, degree/diploma type, designation if any, honors, concentrations, majors, ranks, gpa... Experience Any full time or part time experience that relates to the objective for which the CV is being made should be included. Details such as organizations name, designation, responsibilities, dates and the like should also be mentioned. Accomplishment A CV must list scholarships, assistantships, fellowships, awards, honors... Affiliation A CV must list certifications, affiliations, memberships... Conference Participation Presentations in conferences must be briefly described in a CV. Additionally, the name of the conference, dates and location of the conference must be mentioned. Research Interest If applicable, the CV should include your area of research and also mention the research work already completed. References A CV can include some references. But if these are not going to be evergreen, it is best to mention Available upon Request. Other Sections Depending upon the individual and the purpose of the CV, other sections could include community activity, international experience and skills. [email protected]
