HOW TO WRITE A CV?

WHAT IS A CV?

● CV or Curriculum Vitae is a short summary of your


academic qualifications, career, achievements, skills
and goals.
● CV is your own reflection in front of the employer.
● While we apply for a job, our CV becomes the most
important part, therefore it has to be framed carefully.
CV vs RESUME
A resume also reflects our qualifications, career, work experience and other
relevant information but it is not detailed. A resume is a one-page summary. It is
basically used for job hunting across industries.

On the other hand, a CV is a detailed description of our experience, awards and


achievements, skills, certificates, publications and qualifications. A CV is a
comprehensive overview.
