Which document lists personal details, qualifications, work experience and referees used by job seekers?

• A. Job description
• B. Person specification
• C. Curriculum vitae
• D. Shortlist

Answer: (C)

A curriculum vitae is the document job seekers use to present their background to potential employers. It lists personal details (like name and contact information), qualifications (schools, degrees, certifications), work experience (previous roles and responsibilities), and referees (people who can vouch for them). Employers rely on a CV to quickly assess whether a candidate has the right background before deciding who to interview.

A job description describes what the job involves and the duties required. A person specification outlines the qualities, skills, and qualifications the employer wants in the ideal candidate. A shortlist is a group of applicants chosen to be interviewed. Since only a CV is meant to compile those personal details, qualifications, work history, and references, it’s the correct choice.
