CURRICULUM
VITAE (CV)
1
 1. What is CV?
A curriculum vitae (CV) is a comprehensive document that lists your
qualifications for employment. It's primarily used for academic positions.
A curriculum vitae works in much the same way as a resume, providing
information about an individual's educational and work history. Often called
a CV for short, it's much more comprehensive than the typical resume and
can be much longer.
There's no limit to how long a CV can be, but it must be focused on academic
and professional experience. A lengthy CV isn't any better than a short one if
it contains fluff or irrelevant data. Article driven with information focused on
academia experiences. Reverse chronological order. Sentence fragments
with bullet style and submitted with a cover letter.

2
 2. Context and Content
A CV begins with your contact information, including your name, address,
telephone number, and email address. You should also indicate your area or
areas of academic interest.
Your CV should include a comprehensive account of your academic history,
including the title of your dissertation or thesis. It must also contain details
about all publications, research projects, and presentations to which you
have contributed. You should also list any grants, academic awards, and other
related honors you've received. The employment and experience section of
your CV should contain teaching and research positions, both paid and
unpaid. In addition to jobs, include any relevant internships and volunteer
experiences here.

 2. Context and Content
Following that section, discuss memberships in scholarly and professional
associations and include offices you have held, if any. Finally, provide a list
of references, along with their contact information, on your curriculum vitae.
Doing this is in contrast to a resume, which never contains this information.
Consult the job announcement to see what format an employer wants your
CV to be in. If it isn't indicated there, use a standard one, like .docx or a PDF.
Make sure you use an email address that sounds professional. A silly or
suggestive one could get your CV tossed.
Check and then double-check for any typos, misspellings, grammatical errors,
or other mistakes. Have someone proofread your CV for you.
Keep your CV targeted and use concise language to get your experience
across to the reader.

RESUME
9
 1. What is Resume?
A resume is a formal document that provides an overview of your
professional qualifications, including your relevant work experience, skills,
education, and notable accomplishments. Usually paired with a cover letter,
a resume helps you demonstrate your abilities and convince employers
you’re qualified and hireable.
The spelling of “resume” actually originates from French, and means
“summary.” To this day, the purpose of a resume is still to provide
employers with a summary of your relevant qualifications.
If you’re applying for a job, you need at least a resume to be considered for
the position.

10
 2. Context and Content
Many job seekers assume that the purpose of a resume is to provide a full
overview of their professional history.
Instead, the goal of your resume is to convince employers you’re worth
interviewing. To that end, your resume is a valuable tool you can use to highlight
your experience to prospective employers.
If your resume provides a concise summary of your relevant qualifications and
skills in a format that makes your ability to handle the work as clear as possible,
you will get more interviews.
What do I include on a resume? What you should put on your resume depends on
the job you’re applying for and your relevant professional background.

11
 2. Context and Content
At a minimum, your resume should include the following sections:
1. Contact details: include your first and last name, phone number, and
email address. Additionally, you can add your LinkedIn profile if yours is
up to date, and your mailing address if you want to prove you live near
the place you’re applying.
2. Introduction: a concise overview of your professional background and
key qualifications. Your introduction can be in the form of a resume
summary, professional profile, resume objective, or qualifications
summary.

12
 2. Context and Content
3. Education: Include your school names, highest degree earned, majors and
minors. Additionally, you can add your GPA (if it’s greater than 3.5) and
relevant coursework if you lack experience or it’s related to the position.
4. Experience: list any relevant work experience you have. Include your title,
the company you worked for, years worked, and a bulleted list of your key
responsibilities and notable successes. Be sure to also include as many
relevant accomplishments as possible.
5. Skills: include any resume skills you possess that are relevant to the
position. Be sure to use a strong mix of hard skills and soft skills to
demonstrate that you’re a well-rounded candidate.

COVER
LETTER
15
 COVER LETTER
A cover letter is a document you send with your CV (traditionally as the front
cover). However, it differs from a CV in that instead of being a written overview
of your skills and experience, it’s specifically written with the job you’re
applying for in mind – allowing you to highlight certain areas you think would
make you right for the role.
To put it simply, your cover letter is the easiest and most effective way to stand
out from the crowd. It brings a something extra to the table when you apply
for a job – the employer will learn more about you, your personality, what you
actually want from the job and gain insight as to why you’re applying.

16
 COVER LETTER
What should a cover letter include?
Here a few essential things you should aim to cover in your cover letter:
• Your personal details (e.g. name, address, phone number)
• The hiring manager’s name (if you have it)
• Where you found the vacancy
• Why you’re suitable for the job
• What you can do for the company
• Closing statements (including thanking the recruiter for their time)
