Curriculum Vitae
A Curriculum Vitae (CV) is a summary of your personal, academic and professional background. Its purpose is to outline your qualifications, skills and experience for a specific career, promotion, fellowship or grant. Its length depends on your qualifications and various activities relevant to your career and field. You should keep in mind that each field has a different standard. For example, in applying for an academic position, an applicant is asked to submit a CV along with a Dissertation Abstract, a Statement of Research Interests, and a Statement of Teaching Interests. It is important to present a clear and well-organized application. Your goal is to motivate your employer to interview you.
