CV
A curriculum vitae (CV or vita) is a written overview of a person's experience and other qualifications for a job opportunity. In some countries, a CV is typically the first item that a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview. CVs may also be requested for applicants to postsecondary programs, scholarships, grants and bursaries.
THE APPLICATION FORM
This is a printed (online) form requesting all sorts of information from you, ranging from straightforward biographical details, work experience, education, special awards and achievements to paragraphs describing your personal development, including such things as your career goals and aspirations, your successes and failures in life and what you have learned from them, and your personality. It is important to take time to prepare adequately for the task of filling in an application form. Let the application form be a convincing commercial for you. Remember that these forms are designed and used to screen you out rather than in, so you need to put much thought and research into answering each question.
