6. Resume/ Curr iculum Vitae (CV)

6.1 Guidelines

A Resume/Curricu lum Vitae (CV) provides an overview of a person's experience and other qualifications.

Jacobs Resume/CV template helps you develop Resume/CV documents in a consistent, structured and easy to

read format. The template can help ensure that key information regarding a persons background is captured

consistently.

A CV should be developed and maintained for Jacobs staff who are likely to work on projects and be used in

proposals. The Resume/CV template, available from the Jacobs Word menu, provides an easy to follow guide

to create Resumes/CVs, including technical qualifications and detailed project experience. The template

provides an option to insert a profile image, and care should be taken that this complies with Jacobs staff

portrait photography guidelines.
