Curriculum Vitae, What Does it Mean?

Okay, let's talk about CV. CV is like a log file for accomplishment, work experience, seminars, publications, project, and mission. People put every career event from their life into this file. This is used to let other people know about your skills, experience, and accomplishment. Mostly used for hiring people. 

Let me make my stand at this topic, I do not like CV thing for a lot of reason. For me, years of experience is the same as years of irrelevance. It tells you nothing but the time of working on a specific field. It do not tell you about your skills or maybe attitude. I've seen a lot of people with huge working experience, but the intern perform better. The intern is not a genius or what, but they behave better, do things faster, and more eager to learn. Of course not all intern is like that. My point is that years are not a good measurement unit for skills. I 'm one the the people that against the 10000 hours rule. It doesn't matter if you are lose in working experience or time, what really matters is your velocity.

Second, I apply the grades as the same as time. It does not really give you good information about your skills. Moreover, it is worse than time. Doing well is college homework, assignment, and exam is not a good way to detect people skill and attitude. I could pronounce a lot of my friends that has better grades than me, but their skills are not as good as mine. I do not want to boast or something, but it is just the fact and I do not like it. I believe that my friends has the opportunity to became better than me, but they are just chasing the grades, not the skill. 

I do not mean that CV is not useful. Still, we need the CV as a information supplement about a people. I think, cover letter is a more appropriate thing to be examined deeply. It has their way of writing and expression. I give more information about them rather than CV. Nevertheless, interview and trial is the best thing we can do to get to know people skills and attitude. So, hone your skills, your CV will follow.
