Curriculum Vita's: I need ideas

Alright, so I recently applied for a job via Craigslist. The job is an Accounts Recievable Clerk at some small company. Anyways, I got an E-mail back today asking for me to provide two things, a credit report and a CV (Curriculum Vita). They only mention it as a "cv". So being completely unfamiliar with what a CV is, I look it up on google and find out its more like a VERY extended resume thats about 2-4 pages long of your life's work. Additionally, it is mostly used in the medical, law, and educational fields. Of which, the position I applied for is in neither (that I'm aware of).

Anyways, aside from the overall format and layout of the CV, what are some things I could put on there? I'm still in college so my work history isn't that extensive (3 jobs, a grocery store bagger, QA Admin, and Desk Assistant) and awards are fairly limited too. So in general, I guess what I'm asking you guys is, what are some things other than job history and awards that I could potentially put on the CV?
