A CV is a Curriculum Vitae. This Latin expression means information about your skills and qualifications, studies and achievements. Americans use a similar document: they call it résumé. What do these documents include?
In a CV you must write relevant information about you as a person; that is age, marital status, address, and telephone number. Apart from this, you must also include details about you as a professional, stating your degree, experience, courses for professional improvement and general qualifications, such as other languages of which you have good knowledge and whether you can use a computer.
The way you organise all this information is very important, because your prospective employers will get an idea of you through this document, in many cases before meeting you in person.
