What are the different types of a curriculum vitae?

What are the different types of a curriculum vitae?
Basically there are two different types of CV each would be used in particular circumstances.
The most common type is a chronological CV where each job is listed in date order latest to earliest. Under eaach job you put the job scope and your key achievements.
The other type of CV is a skills-based CV. This is used by people that are looking to change industry sector eg from marketing in the telecoms sector to marketing in the automotive industry. Or where they want to move into a different type of job but show they have the right skills. In this type of CV you find around 5 key skills headings eg Leadership. Then under each you put your achievements. At the end you do a very short career history - just dates, job and company.

In the links below there are links that show you how to write each kind of CV along with an example of each that you can use as a CV template
