There are many different ways to prepare a CV, depending on the nationality of the company that you are applying to. For instance, in the US it is much more common to accompany each entry on a CV with a description of exactly what this involved, whereas in Europe a simple summary often suffices. Similarly, the order in which different events are presented may vary.

The relative importance of extracurricular activities and of references will also vary with national culture. Much depends on methods of recruitment. For example, there is a current trend in using recruitment consultants, who invite prospective employees to e-mail CVs direct or advertise themselves on the Internet. In some fields, CVs have recently changed radically by abandoning the traditional chronological development through education and experience, in favour of setting out personal skills acquired in order to entice prospective employers. But, nevertheless, any CV should contain the following information:

1. Personal details

2. Education

3 Professional experience

4. Skills

5. Activities

6. References

Prepare the CV that you would send to some company. You may invent as many details as you wish, but note that the person who you present in your CV will not graduate until the end of this year.
