1. Curriculum Vitae (CV)

2. What is a CV?
The term “curriculum vitae” comes from the Latin Curriculum (course) and Vitae (life): The course of one’s life.
A Curriculum Vitae includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details.
It is similar to a résumé.
It can be used to secure a job but it’s used primarily when applying for academic, education or scientific research positions as well as fellowships or grants (hint: financial aid for college).
