The basic structure of an org file containing your CV is shown next.


## Personal contact information {#personal-contact-information}

`TITLE`, `AUTHOR` and `EMAIL` are standard org options. But on `TITLE` you
put your foreseen job.

You can use org-modes hierarchical structure to describe your CV. To make a
specific subtree an item describing an experience point (Job you have, degree
you pursued, etc.) you use the org properties drawer and with the `:CV_ENV:
cventry` property. You should also include the `FROM` and `TO` properties
defining the span of the entry, as well as `LOCATION` and `EMPLOYER`.

Because work isn't everything we do, it is more meaningful to label differently
the host of those other events like studies, events, certifications, etc.  Thus
`HOST`, `ORGANIZATION`, `INSTITUTION`, `SCHOOL`, `EMPLOYER` or `EVENT`  are all
equivalent and the first match in that order has precedence.

`DATE` is a shortcut for `FROM` and `TO` when you have a single date in mind
instead of a range. Both `FROM` and `TO` override `DATE`.

```org

:TO:     <2017-12-07>
:LOCATION: a city, a country
:EMPLOYER: The employer
:END:
