A Curriculum Vitae or CV is a summary of relevant work experience and education. The purpose of a CV is to get an interview. It is very important because it is your first contact with a prospective employer.
Your job application should tell a prospective employer why your skills, education and experience make you suitable for the job they are advertising. Your application may consist of a covering letter and a CV, or an application form.
