RESUME AND

CURRICULUM
VITAE(CV)
What Is a Resume?
A resume is a formal document that a job
applicant creates to itemize their qualifications
for a position. A resume is usually
accompanied by a customized cover letter in
which the applicant expresses an interest in a
specific job or company and draws attention to
the most relevant specifics on the resume.
There are many formats for resumes, with many variations for
particular professions such as investment banking and the fashion
trade. Whatever the format, most resumes include a brief
summary of skills and experience, followed by a bullet list of
previous jobs in reverse chronological order and a list of degrees
earned. A final section might be added to highlight specific skills,
such as fluency in a foreign language, knowledge of computer
languages, professionally useful hobbies, professional
affiliations, and any honors achieved. Brevity, a clean layout, and
succinct language all are prized.
 Resume structure
Headings can be effective to organize
and highlight information. Your choice of
heading should be guided by the alignment
between 'what you bring' to 'what the employer
is looking for'. Examples Include: Common

WHAT IS CV OR CURRICULUM
VITAE?
A curriculum vitae Latin for "course of life", often
shortened to CV) is a short written summary of a
person's career, qualifications, and education. The
term curriculum vitae and its abbreviation, CV, are
also used especially in academia to refer to extensive
or even complete summaries of a person's career,
qualifications, and education, including publications
and other information.

 DIFFERENCES OF CV AND RESUME
The CV presents a full history of your academic
credentials, so the length of the document is
variable. In contrast, a resume presents a concise
picture of your skills and qualifications for a
specific position, so length tends to be shorter
and dictated by years of experience
THE IMPORTANCE OF RESUME AND CV
It's more than just a document: It outlines
your background, your skills, and your
education so that a potential employer is
quickly and easily able to see how your
individual experiences can contribute to a
company's success.
