You (may) use to maintain a pretty precise Curriculum Vitae (CV) with every bit of your professional activities.
Bad news: it's useless (well, to be honest, it's perfect for filling paper files =)
At least this happened to me while applying for working at google.com , I needed to rush and write a "Resumè" , which is a sort of resumed-CV but focused on your profile, strengths, etc.
These are some useful links I've collected that helped me writing the "Resumè" (of course you could just search for "resume tips" and such, but there are plenty of results and much noise around):
BTW Here is my Resumè: https://sites.google.com/site/juanjosec/curriculum/Resume-JuanJoseCiarlante-en.2011oct12.pdf
