| "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." |

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 not everyone have learnt.
A CV or Curriculum Vitae is:
- Your Life History
- Your job history
- Your achievements
- Your Skills
A C.V. is a marketing tool. With your C.V. you will be able to promote yourself. Imagine the C.V. as being a brochure that will list the benefits of a particular service. The service being your time and skills! When writing a C.V. look at it from your employers point of view. Would you stand out against the competition (the other candidates) and would the manager want to talk you for a possible job? You have to ask yourself these questions when writing your curriculum vitae.
Networking and interviewing are essential for your job hunt and your C.V. is just the first step in the job search. However a C.V. will be your first contact with potential employers and will open the door. If you are invited for an interview you would then be in a position to explain and expand on what is in your C.V.
A C.V. is an essential tool in your job search. When applying for a vacancy you generally first have to send your CV to present yourself to the prospective employer.
