Text 4. Curriculum Vitae (c. V.)

Curriculum Vitae may be written at will but it should be short and simple. As all business documentation, it must be easy to read and understand. That’s why it should be divided into sections: Personal Information, Education, Current Position, Previous Position, Business Skills, Computer, Languages, Specialist Areas, Hobbies and Referees.
