What is CV?

Answer 1

A résumé or curriculum vitæ (CV) is a document containing a summary or listing of relevant job experience and education, usually for the purpose of obtaining an interview when seeking employment. Often the résumé or CV is the first item that a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker, and therefore a large amount of importance is often ascribed to it.

Traditionally, résumés have been, like careers themselves, oriented towards what a person has accomplished thus far. In most contemporary career consulting the trend is to fashion the document towards what that person can accomplish in a particular job. This is sometimes called a 'targeted résumé'.

The word résumé (often spelled resumé or resume) is used especially in the United States and in English Canada; the Latin term curriculum vitæ (often abbreviated CV) is instead used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, French Canada and some Commonwealth countries, as well as in the academic fields in North America, and in many languages other than English. In some regions (such as Australia and India) CV and résumé are used interchangeably.

Answer 2

A special type of resume traditionally used within the academic community. Earned degrees, teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, and related activities are featured. Unlike a resume, a CV tends to be longer and more informational than promotional in tone. Note: The CV required in theses and dissertations follows a very specific format.

Answer 3

CV simply means C and V the two alphabets of English Language
.
CV means "Career Venture".

The process of career venture starts with telling all about one self or blowing ones own trumpet before a prospective employer enabling him to pick up his needs from this search document and provide an employment or business. Of course it contains mostly truths and at best some half-truths, and backed by authentic and verifiable certificates and documentary assertions in support. This attractive presentation of self is called CV - Curriculum Vitae - Otherwise known as Resume of self.

It is an Introspection report of positive qualities of a person given out by himself, to a large extent, honest ,dependable and sincere.

Answer 10

The full form "Curriculum Vitae" sounds like an ugly word to me !

I instead prefer "Resume"

"Bio-data" is actually the biological data of a person, like : the blood group, height, weight, color of eyes, hair, medical history of any diseases, etc..

But some people put their work history under Bio-data, which is not proper.
