PART TWO:
WRITING

1) Writing a CV

The different parts of a CV
A CV is a sort of business card to present to a potential new employer.
What’s more, in combination with the cover letter, the CV might prompt a
future boss to invite you for an interview. And who knows what that might
lead to?

A CV differs from person to person, but the parts contained in such a
document are frequently the same. Below you´ll find them all, accompanied
by a brief explanation.

The difference between CV and resume lies in the length, layout, and
purpose of these documents. CVs have no length limit; resumes are typically
one to two pages long. A CV details the whole course of the candidate's
academic career; a resume summarizes skills and work experience.

As stated, three major differences between CVs and resumes are the length,
the purpose and the layout. A resume is a brief summary of your skills and
experience over one or two pages, a CV is more detailed and can stretch well
beyond two pages. The resume will be tailored to each position whereas the
CV will stay put and any changes will be in the cover letter.

A CV has a clear chronological order listing the whole career of the
individual whereas a resume’s information can be shuffled around to best
suit the applicant. I would say the main difference between a resume and a
CV is that a CV is intended to be a full record of your career history and a
resume is a brief, targeted list of skills and achievements.
