                                                                       CV (Resume)

Hello everyone, so at this opportunity, I will share material about CVs or resumes which are used as supporting documents which are very important in finding a job. Here we are

1. Definition

A curriculum vitae, often abbreviated as CV, is a document that job applicants use to showcase their academic and professional accomplishments. It is used to apply for positions within the areas where a person’s specific knowledge or expertise is required. A curriculum vitae is usually longer than a resume and must include the information that the recruiter needs to verify the skills, experience, and educational qualifications of an applicant. 

In many countries, a CV is usually the first document that a prospective employer looks at when screening candidates for job interviews scholarship programs, grant applications, or bursaries. When sending a curriculum vitae and other application documents to the employer, some applicants may choose to send physical copies of the document through registered mail, or electronically through email, depending on what the prospective employer indicated on the job advertisement.

2. Function

A completed CV aims to impress recruiters and is sent as a application to jobs adverts or as a speculative approach to prospective companies. CVs are valuable and important because they are your first and maybe only direct communication with a potential employer.
Essentially, a CV is designed to summarise all your academic, professional and personal (where relevant) achievements in order to entice or interest a hiring manager when applying for a new job opportunity.

3. Structure

   a) Personal Information

    b) Education

    c) Work Experience 

    d) Skills 

4. Expression

   a) Personal Information

At the top of the curriculum vitae, write your full name and contact information such as phone number, email address, registered mail address, etc. Below the contact information, include information that describes who you are.

    b) Education

Education information includes a list of the education programs you pursued and the years and name of the institution you attended. Ideally, you should include information on college, graduate school, and post-graduate schools you attended, the courses you pursued, and the year when you graduated from the program.

    c) Work Experience

The work experience section requires you to list your recent work experience that is relevant to the position you are applying for. For each position you’ve previously held, indicate the name of the employer (company), your specific roles, and the duration of the employment.

    d) Skills

If you possess certain skills and you have not mentioned them in the other sections in the curriculum vitae, list them here. The skills may include language skills, computer skills, driving skills, advanced software skills, etc. They should be relevant to the job you are applying for.
