A CV is an important professional document that lists all of a candidate's qualifications, educational background, professional experiences, interests, accomplishments, etc. It could be referred to as the summation of all the professional and academic achievements of a candidate's lifetime. 

Know More About Curriculum Vitae (CV)

  • Almost all companies screen candidates after looking at their CVs and determining whether they possess the necessary professional skill set for the job. 
  • CVs are also referred to as resumés and serve as highly effective and efficient tools in the recruitment process. A lot is revealed about a candidate by just looking at his CV. 
  • Despite the obvious professional record, the manner of presentation and the kind of language used set the tone for the candidate's personality. Thus, a CV should be brief but crisp, clear, and to the point. It should be devoid of any ambiguity and not too wordy. 
  • Adding false information should be avoided in CVs, as this practice could lead to a loss of reputation if discovered and sometimes even license cancellation.
  •  It can also get a candidate blocked from applying to other companies.
  • CVs are instrumental in the recruitment process. They help to screen out the candidates who are not fit for the job profile without the hassle of interviews, saving the time and resources of both the candidates and the recruiters.
