I don't know a Curriculum Vitae

I should write a CV. CV is the abbreviation of “curriculum vitae”. I should note down my affiliation and achievement in documents. Although I am in Japan now, I will move to America several months later. So, I should prepare a CV in American style. In Japan, we can buy paper that has a suitable format for Japanese CV. However, the one now I should prepare needs no prescribed format. Accordingly, I don’t know what is true.
