2.3.2. Study the information about cv and resume. Look through the cv and resume below and write your own one according to the given samples:
When
asking for a job in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, expect
to submit a CV rather than a resume. Keep in mind that overseas
employers often expect to read the type of personal information on a
curriculum vitae that would never be included on an 
American resume,
such as date of birth, nationality and place of birth. United States
law on what information job applicants can be asked to provide does
not apply outside the country.
Your CV should be clear, concise, complete, and up-to-date with
current employment and educational information.
The Differences between a Résumé and a CV
There are several differences between a curriculum vitae and a resume. A curriculum vitae is a longer (up to two or more pages), more detailed synopsis of your background and skills. A CV includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details. As with a resume, you may need different versions of a CV for different types of positions. Like a resume, a CV should include your name, contact information, education, skills and experience. In addition to the basics, a CV includes research and teaching experience, publications, grants and fellowships, professional associations and licenses, awards and other information relevant to the position you are applying for. Start by making a list of all your background information, then organize it into categories. Make sure you include dates on all the publications you include.
