Curriculum Vitae

A CV, or curriculum vitae, is a bibliography of your own history in your profession. 

Here, the citations are captions of each project and references are to the different jobs you have done.

It acts as a portfolio but for professions such as writers, researchers, architects, and software developers instead of artists.

Each job or work done is listed as a one sentence summary.

For example, Stephen King would have a section on his CV for books he had written, another for books he contributed to, and another for feature films he had worked on in relationship to being an author.

A researcher would list each journal publication they appeared on and each mentorship role they've had.

Coders would list their software's, and architects would list their designs.

All of it acts as documentation for yourself on what work you have done, and it is to be updated with time: your education, professional focus, projects, published work, achievements and awards, rewarded grants and funding, invited talks and article interviews, professional memberships and services, teaching and outreach, and more.

It acts as a portfolio for numerous projects, published work, and achievements, or an accounting of work experiences, qualifications, and education.

They are the detailed follow-ups of resumes.
