A curriculum vitae, or CV, is the same as a resumé.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a lot of stuff to go on the CV. A young person isn’t expected to have a long CV.
The most important thing is to present it neatly and with everything spelled correctly. Ask someone to proofread it before you hand it in.
It looks like this:
Your Name
Your Address
Your Phone Numbers
Your Email Address

Office Assistant, Business Department, Thomastown University, Washington DC, USA, 2006-2007.

Curriculum Vita
When most job postings ask for a resume, the implication is that they want a chronological or functional resume — one page long, work experience, all that jazz.
But some jobs out there — especially in the education and research fields — require a curriculum vita (CV).
CVs are not resumes. Commonly used among academics in the U.S., CVs are much more comprehensive than resumes. A CV lists almost every work-related accomplishment you’ve ever had, from papers published to presentations given to classes taught to awards won. In short, they’re long. Some CVs extend over 30 pages.
CVs for non-education related fields are sometimes used in other countries. In Europe, for example, CVs are generally accepted for everyday jobs. In the U.S., however, you should never send a CV unless the job ad specifically asks for one.http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/resume/Resumes_CVs_and_More_Organizing_Your_Qualifications__20021114-151.html?subtopic=Formatting+and+Content
