Description

For the opportunities freelance translators are pursuing, an appropriate resume is a one- to two-page summary of relevant skills, experience, and education. A resume must be brief because the reader typically spends less than a minute reviewing its contents. You need to make sure your resume is concise, well written, and that it contains the information translation companies are looking for, and, by the same token, that it does not contain anything that is irrelevant or unnecessary.

Over the past decade, I have mentored and coached other freelance translators with their marketing. One of the most frequent tasks I’ve had is to review and help them with their basic marketing material; CV, cover letter and online profiles.
