Frequently asked questions.

What is a CV?

A CV is an in-depth professional document that is meant to highlight an individual’s career journey, including educational and professional accomplishments. Think about a CV as a comprehensive account of everything you have professionally done. Some employers require a CV as a part of the job application.

What does CV stand for?

CV stands for curriculum vitae (CV), which is Latin for “course of life.” Like its Latin meaning, a CV is an in-depth step-by-step document that outlines an individual’s career journey.

Do I need a different CV for every different job application?

It’s not required, but it’s generally good practice to customize your CV based on the job you are applying to. Consider how you prioritize the information on your CV to make you look the best for each specific application. Another good tip is to use verbiage directly from the job description and include it in your CV so the people reading your CV can easily tell you have the qualifications they are looking for.

How do I choose the right CV template?

First, do some research about standard CVs for your specific industry. Then, decide how you’ll add your personal touch to that style. Consider which sections you’ll want to feature, what order they should go in, and how you’ll highlight the most important information.

Can I have my CV reviewed when I’ve finished building it?

You should definitely have your CV reviewed whenever you can.Send an editable link to mentors, peers, friends, or connections at the place you are applying to view, comment, and edit directly on your CV.

Can I create my own CV template?
