CV stands for curriculum vitae - a Latin expression meaning 'life story'. (In American English it is called a resume.) It summarises your education, achievements and job history for prospective employers and so it should be carefully prepared. A CV is usually sent with a covering letter.
Look at the following stages in the preparation of a CV.

1. Think about what the job involves. à It’s important to get a good idea of the kind of work you would be doing so that you can include relevant information in your company.
2. Think about what sort of person would be chosen to do it. à undefined
3. Identify your skills that match the job description. à Don’t forget skills such as teamwork, creativity and leadership.
4. Decide on a layout. à Make sure the layout is clear, with plenty of space.
5. Review your previous experience. à Think about the things you’ve done in the past which might help you with this job.
6. Find suitable language to describe your experience. à Use strong, positive words. Be truthful, but don’t be afraid to show off your talents!
7. Draft the first version of your CV. à Try to keep it short – many employers prefer CVs to be two pages maximum.
