What is a CV?

CV calls for curriculum vitae in its full context (Latin for: Life course). A curriculum vitae is a text you use
for academic purposes in the USA, Canada and Australia. Each aspect of your scholarly career is
illustrated in the US academic CV. CV is an analog to an American Resume in many nations. You need
this while searching for work.

Because this paper is called differently in various nations, many people keep asking: What is the
distinction between a curriculum vitae and a resume?

Let's make this right, once and for all: There's absolutely no structured distinction between a CV and a
resume in the recruiting industry nowadays. This is the exact aspect the Brits term a curriculum vitae
and Americans-a resume.

Just as they do with French fries and chips, soccer and football, or Queen Elizabeth and Queen Bey.

So, if you apply to a European business, you'd have to build a CV. But if you apply to an employer
located in the US you can make a resume.

Select the Right CV Template Here's a surprising thought: you compete on average against 250 other
applicants every time you're applying for a position.

Consider you are the recruiter and you have 250 work applicants to study. Can you read them all
thoroughly? Yeah, you definitely don't.
Recruiters only check single CV for 6 seconds. The very first experience, though, is important. You can
persuade the recruiters to invest more time on your CV if you send a clean, well formatted paper.

In the other side, a incorrectly configured CV can get you rejected during the first-round analysis.

Here's how you should build a CV the right way.


Begin by designing a curriculum separated into the following sections:

Example CV Template

 CV Header with Contact Details Personal Profile


 CV Goal or CV Description
 Job Experience
 Employment Skills
 Additional Parts

Pro Tip: Whether you're fresh from uni and need to compose a student curriculum with little practice, or
if you've graduated from a reputable university over the last 5 years, put your curriculum on.

While filling in the pages, please keep in mind the guidelines for formatting gold CVs: use simple, legible
fonts Go with one of the regular CV types: Arial, Tahoma, or Helvetica if you choose sans-serif fonts, and
Times New Roman or Bookman Old Style if serif fonts are your normal option.

Use font scale 11 to 12 st, and single spacing. Choose font scale from 14 to 16 pt for the name and
segment names.

Place one-inch margins on all four sides to match the CV style.

Make sure the program headings are uniform — make them bigger and brighter, but make italics and
emphasis simpler.

Keep the curriculum vitae short and important Don't be one of those people trapped in their CVs in the
nineties who believe they ought to provide every single information of their lives.

Hiring is one heck of a hectic market, nowadays. No one has the patience to think about what high
school you attended or read 10 + explanations of past careers with bullet points. We are going to get to
that later.

Pro Tip: Save your CV in PDF once you've done writing to ensure your CV style remains intact. Yet follow
the job requirements closely. Some employers won’t accept a PDF CV. If such is the case, send your CV
in Word.

Okay, then you've got the best CV framework available, so you know the simple rules of CV composition.
