Welcome to The Mandatory Training Group's online CV Writing Skills training course for all sectors.
A curriculum vitae (CV) is a marketing document that gives a summary of a job seekers career history, academic qualifications and also explains their future potential. Indeed, the phrase ‘curriculum vitae’ is Latin for ‘the story of your life’. It is also occasionally known as a resume, although this term is more commonly used in America.
A completed CV aims to impress recruiters and is sent as an application to jobs adverts or as a speculative approach to prospective companies.
