What is CV?
According to Merriam Webster
dictionary, Curriculum Vitae [noun] , or
CV, is a short account of one's career and qualifications prepared typically by
an applicant for a position. In Bahasa, curriculum vitae is daftar
riwayat hidup yang menunjukan kualifikasi seseorang dalam menempuh jenjang
karir. It is is a written overview of someone's life's work
including academic formation, publications, qualifications. Another word of CV
is a résumé
What is it used for
and Why we should make CV?
It is usually used to
apply for a job, career, and also to apply for postgraduate eduation include
scholarship. In the 2010s it became popular for applicants to provide an
electronic text of their CV to employers using email, an online employment
website or using a job-oriented social-networking-service website, such as
LinkedIn. What is Linkedln? You can search and explore by yourself, I guess.
It helps the potential
employer, quickly determine that they are qualified for a job and other
need. A well-crafted resume or CV should immediately demonstrate an applicant's
suitability for a job interview.
How to make CV?
In the United Kingdom,
most Commonwealth countries, and Ireland, a CV is short (usually a maximum of
two sides of A4 paper), and therefore contains only a summary, in other word,
it’s resume.
In the United States, a CV
is a comprehensive document used in academic circles and medical careers that
elaborate on education, publications, and other achievements. A CV contains
greater detail than a résumé.
A resume or CV usually consisted of your photo and personal profile, contact, educational background, skills or competencies, work experience, and organizational experience-if needed. If the place that you apply have certain format or template, please follow the data requirements. Look at the following picture as an example of template.
