The full form of CV is Curriculum Vitae, which gives an overview of the person’s academic & professional background. This is considered to be a professional document which has the complete information of the person. The CV also has contact details, address, achievements, skillset and hobbies of the candidate. Many people also include a photograph and their passport number on their CV. In many countries, a CV is an employer-specific term needed when the candidate is looking for a job or higher education.
While you are making your CV, ensure that you don’t include the salary background and the reason for leaving the last employer. You can include your photograph, but that is optional. If an employer needs additional information, you can provide it separately instead of having it on the CV. There is usually no limit on pages you can use in a CV, but people prefer a 2 page CV in some Commonwealth nations.
