Certified Fire Investigator Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT included in a Curriculum Vitae?

1. Current duties

2. Personal hobbies

3. Investigative experiences

4. Formal educational training

The correct answer is: Personal hobbies

A Curriculum Vitae (CV) is a comprehensive document that outlines an individual's professional qualifications, achievements, and experiences relevant to their career. While it typically includes sections detailing current duties, investigative experiences, and formal educational training, it may not necessarily cover personal hobbies in the same formal capacity. Including personal hobbies in a CV is not standard practice, as the primary aim of a CV is to present professional qualifications and career-related experiences. Hobbies may not relate directly to the individual's professional expertise or the job they are applying for, thus making them less relevant for inclusion in a formal document like a CV. Therefore, personal hobbies are often regarded as supplementary information and are usually omitted unless they demonstrate a specific skill or relevance to the position being sought.
