>1. "cv"
>1a. cv (without quotes)
Assuming that cv means curriculum vitae then the New Shorter Oxford
English definition is "A brief account of ones' life or career,
especially as required in an application for employment."
>2. autobiography
Again the New Shorter Oxford gives "The writing of one's own history; a
story of a person's life written by himself or herself."
>3. RESUME???
.... "A curriculum vitae. (North American)"
Hope this clears things up for everyone! ;-P
