Curriculum Vitae Development Assignment
A curriculum vitae commonly referred to as a CV, contains more information than a resume. The
words Curriculum Vitae literally mean story of your life. It includes your business/work
experience, education, awards, publications, professional memberships, interests and personal
information such as date of birth, marital status and citizenship.
A chronological or performance CV presents your work history beginning with your most recent
job. This format makes it easy for employers to quickly skim your work history to see if you are
a potential fit for the position. Use this format if you have a consistent, stable work history and
can show steady career progression.
