Overview: Why is a resume important? A resume, written properly is an effective marketing tool, not a laundry list of past experience. There are 11 recognized formats for writing resumes, one being the CV or Curriculum Vitae. How does CV and resume differ? The CV utilized in the United States typically follows a reverse chronological pattern, meaning that information is presented from the current job first and documents the individual=s work experience backwards from there. Internationally, the CV follows a chronological pattern, meaning, as it states, from the first job forward to the present time. Perhaps the same reasons why the English and the Americans drive on the opposite sides of the road also effect the direction of the resume.
