<p>I asked my professor for a letter of recommendation, and this is what she wrote back:</p>

<p>"Yes, I can do this. A copy of your c.v. as well as the forms and where to send info would help."</p>

<p>Anyone know what a "c.v." is? I have no idea.</p>

<p>It's similar to a resume. If you search online, you can find some examples. Your professor want to know more about you before she sends off a letter of recommendation.</p>

<p>Ah ok, thanks. I figured that it was something like a resume.</p>

<p>You get the answer if you go to the first link to the results of searching "c.v." on google.....</p>

<p>But you are just a beginning student. I think a resume will suffice. A C.V is like for someone applying to become a professor of a department at an institute.</p>

<p>yeah, that's what I gathered by looking at a few samples. It is all for listing professional work and publications...</p>

<p>Ah, Google is truly an underutilized resource...</p>

<p>The professor is probably so used to seeing and using CVs that she said "CV" when she wasn't necessarily thinking about a formal CV.</p>
