A curriculum vitae (CV) is like a really special piece of paper that tells people all about what you know and what you've done. It's like a grown-up version of your school report card, except it focuses on your work and education.
Imagine you're going to build a castle with some friends. You need to make a plan for what you'll all do to build the castle, right? Your CV is like the plan for building a castle, but instead of working with friends, it's a plan for working with bosses or companies to get jobs or internships.
On your CV, you'll include things like the schools you've gone to and what you studied there, any jobs or internships you've had, and other experiences that show you're a good worker. You can also include things like your skills, awards you've won, and any special talents you have that might help you get a job.
The CV is important because it helps people who might want to hire you understand what you've done in the past and whether you'd be a good fit for the job they're offering. It's like showing them a treasure map that proves you're a good adventurer and can find your way around difficult situations.
So, when you grow up and start looking for jobs or internships, you'll want to make a CV that shows all the amazing things you've done and all the cool things you can do, too. And who knows, maybe the treasure you'll find along the way will be your dream job!
