Pick up a copy of INFOSEC Career Hacking

It should give you a little guidance in writing that CV to what is
expected and a good idea about the difference between system and pen
testing. System Testing typically refers to testing software or
hardware in a lab that simulates its feilded situation. This would be
a phase of testing software/hardware before it is released to the
customer.
