Have you heard of a CV? Has an employer requested one?
A CV is a Curriculum Vitae. It is latin, and for the most part means the "course of my life" according to Wikipedia definition. I feel it's similar to a resume, although, more in story mode. Rather than listing every single job description (or the most important ones anyway), it summarizes your work history.
Did you know that the US and UK have different expectations of what your CV should entail? According to the above Wikipedia definition, the US version in that it is used in place of a resume. This is especially true in the medical field. It also more comprehensive than a resume, and includes publications, significant achievements, and even completed educational courses.
The version of a CV in the UK contains a summary of job history and qualifications, to include some personal information.
Here is another link I found to be helpful in providing tips towards a successful CV. Hope this helps!
