Curriculum Vitae
Synonyms: resume, curriculum vita, CV, vita, biodata, and Europass (European Union).
Another question is often asked: Which is correct, Vita or Vitae? - The answer is easy if you studied Latin. This noun vita came into English from Latin. In Latin, the genitive case singular of vita (=life) is vitae (=of life or life's). Curriculum means description. In other words, Curriculum Vitae means Description of Life (in Latin: Curriculum Vitae). Apart from curriculum vitae, there are a few more Latin phrases that came directly into English without any modification in spelling and meaning. In oral and written communication we should use Curriculum Vitae as it is in Latin, in order to avoid an academic faux.
Most teachers apply for jobs online. They either e-mail their resume directly to employers or apply online by posting it to internet job boards. It is necessary to set up a high-quality electronic version of your resume or curriculum vitae.
When we send a resume or any other document by e-mail as an attachment it sometimes does not look the same on the other person's computer as it looked on your computer. For example, the second page can start at the bottom of the first page, the fonts are different and the colors are different. Therefore, in order to guarantee excellence of printing it is important to prepare a PDF version of resume. This will guarantee uniformity and consistency.
