DEFINE THE SCOPE AROUND THE DOCUMENT PURPOSE

CV and résumé translation

CV and résumé translation makes education, responsibilities and achievements clear in another language. We adapt wording to the target role and documented experience, align job titles and technical terms, and check dates, figures and chronology while preserving the emphasis of your experience without adding facts.

Start with the purpose and scope

Job applications

We use precise responsibility verbs informed by the target job description and retain the scope and evidence of achievements so recruiters can understand relevant experience.

Academic profiles

We organize research interests, project roles and publications, distinguishing published, accepted and ongoing work without turning participation into project leadership.

Career transitions

We clarify transferable skills and job functions across industries while retaining the actual employment background and avoiding invented skills for the new role.

Which pages and files should you prepare?

Material scope and checks
MaterialScope to confirmPreparation and checks
Editable CV or résuméInclude education, employment, projects and skills sections.Identify the current version to avoid mixing older and updated experience.
Target role or purposeSupply a job description, research focus or application instructions.Distinguish requirements from your actual experience rather than copying the vacancy wording.
Names and achievement referencesList established English names for employers, products, credentials and projects.Confirm how percentages, amounts and team sizes were measured and what may be disclosed.
Dates and contact detailsProvide employment months, education dates and contact details intended for inclusion.Identify part-time, internship and concurrent roles and check email addresses and links.

Review focused on the document details

Seniority and responsibilities

We check titles against actual duties, distinguishing management, coordination, delivery and support. Where a Chinese title has no direct equivalent, wording explains the function without inflating seniority.

Achievements and figures

We review ownership, measurement periods and comparison baselines, separating individual contributions from team results. Unclear growth or savings figures are queried rather than recalculated into more impressive claims.

Chronology and current status

We check employment dates, current status and education chronology and standardize date formats. Overlaps follow the actual part-time or project arrangements; gaps are not filled and planned experience is not presented as completed.

Language and terminology

We align project names, abbreviations and responsibility wording and check tense and parallel structure. Specific experience remains visible, and any reduction of repetitive wording is checked for factual completeness.

Agree the deliverables before work begins

Electronic translation

Agree PDF, Word, Excel or other formats, editability, page order and file naming. Confirm any page-by-page source correspondence before work starts.

Statements, signatures and stamps

If the recipient requires a translator statement, signature, contact details, stamp or a particular qualification, share the checklist first so the supporting set and responsible provider can be checked.

Paper copies and shipping

Agree copies, binding, source-reference pages, address and shipping milestones. Translation, supporting formalities and transit are planned separately.

Translation, notarisation, Apostille and consular legalisation are distinct stages. Check the recipient checklist to establish which stages and document combinations are needed for the intended submission.

A clear path from files to feedback

  1. Describe the files

    Provide clear files or a redacted sample, with languages, purpose, volume and timing.

  2. Agree the scope

    Confirm main text and annexes, review, formats, supporting work, price and delivery.

  3. Translate and review

    Check fields, terminology, figures, dates and cross-document relationships.

  4. Deliver and follow up

    Deliver against the list and consolidate feedback; assess new source versions or added files separately.

Questions before you commission the work

Can the wording be improved during translation?

We can improve sentence structure, action verbs and information order. New achievements, broader responsibilities or changes to a title's meaning need factual support. Unclear passages are queried rather than completed from assumptions.

Do I need separate CV and résumé versions?

Length and sections depend on the purpose. An academic profile may retain research and publication lists, while a job application can emphasize relevant duties and results. Share the target instructions so the information structure can suit the intended use.

What if an employer has no English name?

We first check for an existing English name. Without a reliable reference, a consistent translation can be used with identifying details. We do not borrow a similar company's name or add undocumented group or brand affiliations.

Can experience without numerical achievements be translated?

Experience can be conveyed through responsibilities, stakeholders, methods and outcomes. You may add verifiable task details, but every role does not need invented metrics. Agree how confidential project names or figures should be handled before wording is finalized.

Describe the documents and request a quote
