specification for the post and then advertises the vacancy in an 

appropriate place.

Page 7: Packaging your AIESEC experience

A curriculum vitae (CV) provides an overview of a person's experience and other qualifications. 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, when seeking employment.

WHAT IS A CV?
