Resume and Curriculum Vitae • A CV is written in paragraph style--not broken up with bulleted or italicized information to highlight any skills, accomplishments, or achievements for each specific position. • Each paragraph lists the responsibilities from a first person perspective “I” and “my,” which is not done in a professional resume.
