A Curriculum Vitae is a paper that tells people about you. Most people call it a CV. When you want to get a job, you send your CV to the person who has the job.
Your CV has your name and where you live. It also has your phone number and your email address so the person can call you or write to you.
Your CV shows the schools you went to and what you studied. It shows the jobs you have had and what you did in those jobs.
You also write about the things you are good at. These are called your skills. For example, you may be good at working with people, using a computer, or speaking more than one language.
A good CV is easy to read. It is not too long. Two pages is enough. Make sure your CV has no mistakes. Ask a friend to read it before you send it.
A good CV can help you get the job you want.
