CV

It's your life. Curriculum vitae is Latin for "the course of one's life". The key elements are personal details, your work experience, education and qualifications, additional skills such as foreign languages or computer experience, and (relevant) personal interests. Many people, particularly in the US, start their CV with a short 30 to 40 word career summary and statement of their career goals.

Not too personal. Applications in English tend to contain less information of a personal nature than Ukrainian ones. For example, it is not usual to include a photograph, either in Britain or the US. One reason for this is to reduce the possibility of discrimination on the basis of appearance, age or race. For the same reasons, details of your marital status and religion can also be left out, as should information about your parents, their jobs, religion etc. Age and nationality are also details that can be left out, although if you think this information will help you, put it in.

Which order? In practice, most CVs are chronological. Traditionally, this meant listing the history of your education and work experience in the order in which it occurred. Now it is more common, and considered preferable by most people, to use a "reverse chronological CV". This starts with your current job and works backwards. Your education and qualifications then come after that. In other words, the most important information comes first.
