2 Curriculum Vitae
What is a CV?
A CV (Curriculum Vitae) stands as your own personal ‘brochure’ when
introducing yourself to a prospective employer. It needs to highlight your
unique selling points in such a way that a prospective employer can’t wait to
meet you!
It should be concise, accurate, truthful and tailored to the position you are
applying for and importantly should be free from spelling and grammatical
errors.
Note: CV and resume are often used interchangeably. CV is mostly used to
apply for scholarships or jobs related to your college degree. Therefore, it is
longer (can be several pages). Meanwhile resume is often used for applying
jobs in industry. It is usually only one page length.
