CURRICULUM VITAE (CV)

Сurriculum vitae (CV) isa short written document that lists your education and previous jobs, which you send to employers when you are looking for a job. A CV is the most flexible and convenient way to make applications. It conveys your personal details in the way that presents you in the best possible light. A CV is a marketing document in which you are marketing yourself! You need to "sell" your skills, abilities, qualifications and experience to employers.

A CV is often mistaken for a resume by most of the people. Many a time, people get rejected due to this wrong perception, which is to be taken care of. Resume stands for a brief description of educational qualifications, skill set and achievements and may range from a page to two at most.

The goal of a CV is quite specifically to construct a scholarly identity. Thus, your CV will need to reflect very specifically your abilities as a teacher, researcher, and publishing scholar within your discipline

To maximize effectiveness CV should be: Clear (well organized, readable, easily understandable); Concise (no double entries, brief); Complete (all relevant information should be included); Consistent (no mix of styles, same order in presenting); Current (include dates with all information; revise CV at least once a year). · CV needs to be visually appealing and should not contain any typographical or grammatical errors. · Use power verbs, that denotes you took action. Examples include words like " accomplished," "achieved," and " managed. " When reviewers see these action words, they realize that you are a person that takes initiative: you are a self-starter. · The use of power words helps measure the result of the actions you took. Examples of power words are "positive," "results," and " significant." · Avoid italics, script, and underlined words. · Do not use horizontal or vertical lines, graphics, or shading. · Keep paragraphs brief: no more than five to six lines. If you have a long paragraph on your CV, break it up into several shorter ones. Eliminate every unnecessary word.
