| Your
Curriculum Vitae
Preparation of a curriculum vitae (CV) gives you an
opportunity to summarize and highlight your educational and
professional background and achievements. It may be helpful for your
parents and/or your spouse to assist you in preparation of your CV and
personal statement. They remember things that you may have forgotten
or thought were insignificant.
The following is a general outline
for your CV. It is important to list experiences in reverse
chronological order.
