How to make or create a professional CV or Resume.

First, let's know what a CV is.
CV stands for Curriculum Vitae which is a Latin word that means "Course of one's life". This is nothing but a document that is used while applying for jobs. It allows us to summarize our education, work experience, achievements, skills, contact details and projects (if any) in a highlighted way to attract HRs.
