This CV webinar presented by Clare Suttie and Olivia Morton lasts up to 90 minutes, with 60 minutes dedicated to our presentation and the remaining time kept free for a Q&A session and group discussion. We will provide you with actionable and clear advice on transforming your CV so you'll leave our session knowing what you need to do to perfect your CV.
We will share in-depth guidance on CVs for the translation industry and answer any questions you may have about your CV.
With the unique perspective of an agency owner and freelance translator, we see things from both sides of the translator/agency divide. Clare’s popular CV clinic has previously sold out numerous times and she has reviewed hundreds of freelance translation CVs, giving her unparalleled expertise in this field.
We’ll give you honest and practical advice that’s easy to implement on what you can do to make your CV appeal to potential clients and attract the attention of busy agency employees looking to make a quick decision on whether to follow up your application.
We really do have short attention spans nowadays and you need your CV to do the job of grabbing a potential client’s attention and impressing them immediately, whilst conveying all the necessary information effectively and succinctly. We’re here to help you with that and we’ll guide you through the process.
Overhauling your CV is a truly worthwhile investment in your business and following our CV tips and tricks should provide you with a great return on your investment when it comes to applying to agencies and impressing potential clients.
'Done for you'
full CV rewriting service

We know that you're busy and you enjoy translating so you'd rather be working on paid projects than agonising over your CV. As translators, updating and sorting out our CVs is something that can get pushed further and further down our to-do lists.
With our 'done for you' full CV rewriting service for translators, we'll take your CV and transform it into a slick, beautifully-designed document that will impress potential clients. The days of emailing out boring CVs created in Word have gone and your CV is now an opportunity to really stand out, but designing a unique and eye-catching CV can be a minefield.
​
Here's how we'll take your CV problem off your hands:
​
-
You send us your current CV
-
We have a 30-minute call with you. We'll get to know you and ask all the right questions to make sure we come away with the information we need to get started on your CV straight away.
-
We rewrite your CV for you.
-
You approve the text and make any changes or additions you wish to make.
-
We proofread the text again (better safe than sorry).
-
We hand your CV over to our design whizz to transform our Word document into a unique, beautifully-designed CV.
-
We send you an editable version of your stunning CV so you can update it in the future with new CPD, specialisms and interests.
​
The 'done for you' service is a great option if you are unsure what makes you stand out as a translator, you feel uncomfortable writing about yourself, you're too busy to update your CV, sorting out your CV is something you have been procrastinating about for a while now, you dread the idea of working on your CV or you would like some extra support creating compelling copy for your CV in English. It's also a great option if your CV is currently a plain Word document that doesn't grab a potential client's attention and you can't stand the idea of designing a new CV.
Let us take the pressure off you and present you with a CV that's ready to go! As an agency owner and freelance translator, we understand the industry inside out and we know what makes translators stand out to agencies so we'll carefully craft your CV to help you stand out and showcase your language skills to potential clients.
This really is the 'hands-free' option that allows you to stop worrying about your CV and take it off your to-do list. All you'll need to do is send us the version you have at the moment (we don't mind what it looks like), have a short chat with us on a video call and approve the text we write for you.
Yes, your CV might need updating occasionally in the future when you add some CPD or get a new qualification but you won't need to feel stressed about overhauling it any more because we'll take care of that for you.
