CV, actually, stands for ‘Curriculum Vitae', which is Latin 'the story of my life'. But CV is the term people use for a business like document, which tells people what you have done in education, what you've done at work and, possibly, some of your interests, so that they can decide whether they might offer you an interview for a job and your skills and abilities.
