English CV

Post by alx5962 »

My company went out of business last week (my boss was so bad at managing a company !) so I'm working hard on my CV to translate it.
And it's a very hard work :twisted:
So if someone could send me a real CV so it may help me to make mine.
Also, I need people to read & correct mine (I'll PM it).

What else ? Is there a difference in diplomas between England and Ireland ?

This would really really help me !

Thank you !
I'll send you my CV in the next days.

I have technical diplomas in electricy, electronic and computers but the english scholar system is so different than ours so it's not easy to translate the diplomas.
For now I try to describe my career the best way but I don't really know if I only have to translate it or to really adapt it to a different way of thinking.

The more I work on my cv the more I think it will be very hard for me to find a job in an english speaking country :(

Sorry to read you've lost your job Alex....especially at this time of year. :(
Hopefully you'll drop into something that interests you soon. :)

I'm afraid I havn't had to to apply for a job for near on twenty years so i'm not going to be of any help.
I've never done a CV.....in fact,I never even bothered with application forms either. :lol:
It was always phone calls and face-to-face interviews.

Good luck anyway.

I worked the whole day on my english CV and it's like 70% done !

One thing i'm not really sure about the translation so help needed !
I was a sales person in a hypermarket and I had to manage the defective products the consumers brought back but I don't know how to translate it correctly, after-sales sales person ?

Personally I would re-write the above as:

As manager of my supermarkets after-sales service,I was responsible for organizing our 'returns' policy and meeting our customers needs.

..or something like that. :mrgreen:

I can't speak for the UK, but in Ireland a Diploma is a qualification one step lower than a full university degree. Usually a 1 or 2 year course, and more practically- or professionally-oriented. It can lead to a degree with additional 1 or 2 years study.
