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.
