A CV is a Curriculum Vitae.

A curriculum vitae (CV) provides an overview of a person's experience and other qualifications. In some countries, a CV is typically the first item that a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview, when seeking employment. The curriculum vitae is comparable to a résumé in many countries, although in English Canada and the United States it is substantially different.

It's a fancy term for "Resume".

Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

i was thinking CV joint.
I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.

CV and resume are non synonymous in the US. The former is a far more extensive recitation of professional experience, running to several pages, and is generally utilized by academics and medical/mental health professionals. The latter is usually a 2-3 page document at most, where brevity is the norm.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
