Curriculum Vitae (CV):
The word Curriculum Vitae literally translated means the story
of your life. The words Curriculum Vitae are usually abbreviated
to CV or C.V. and you will sometimes see it incorrectly written
in lower case as c.v. or cv. The possessive form of Curriculum
Vitae / CV should be written as Curriculum Vitae's or C.V.'s or
CVs, but not as c.v.'s or cv's.
Your CV is a very important document; with it rest your hopes and
dreams for the future - that next step up the career ladder, a
better position, more money, new challenges, etc. Your CV
therefore has to represent the best you have to offer if you do
not want to miss out on that job you saw which was 'perfect' for
you.
These days employers often receive a lot of CVs for each
advertised position - jobs advertised in national papers can
often attract hundreds of applicants. So your CV has to be just
that little bit special to stand out if you want to obtain
interviews. The good news (for you) is that most people do not
know how to write a CV and only spend a short time preparing a
CV. Writing professional CVs is a skill, which these people have
not learnt.
