What
is Curriculum Vitae?
An outline of a
person's educational and professional history, usually prepared for job
applications (L, lit.: the course of one's life). Another name for a CV is a resume.
What is the chance of my CV
to be read by an employer?
Employers receive an average of 60 applicants for every
advertisement for a low-skilled job, and 20 for every skilled job.
Significantly, almost half of these candidates are perfectly
suitable for the role, according to research by the Chartered Institute of
Personnel and Development (CIPD)
So that makes their CV - or curriculum vitae - all the more
important when attempting to stand out from the crowd.
Experts say there are
some golden rules for getting a CV correct, not least accuracy, spelling and
grammar.
