The curriculum vitae, commonly referred to as a CV, Vita, or Vitae, is a detailed
biographical description of one�s educational and work background. It differs from a
résumé, a one-page description of one�s work experience and educational background
not only in length but also in detail. The origin of the term curriculum vitae is
Latin and means �the course of one�s life or career.� As such, a CV includes
detailed information regarding one�s academic coursework, professional experience,
publications ,and so on.
The process of writing a curriculum vitae can be an exhilarating experience because
it generates a heightened degree of pride in your accomplishments as well as an
increased awareness of your skills. Begin the process with enthusiasm and a desire
to share information about yourself. If you approach this process with anxiety or
uncertainty about its efficacy, writing a curriculum vitae will not be a pleasurable
experience.
How to Prepare Your Curriculum Vitae provides an in-depth explanation of the
components of the curriculum vitae as well as step-by-step instructions for
condensing your career history into a concise biographical sketch that underscores
your assets. You'll learn to assess your educational and noneducational skills,
inventory your accomplishments, and present the information in a format that follows
the latest document guidelines. In addition, this newly revised edition includes:
* Tips on producing a scannable CV
