When 2B was approached to translate and edit a résumé for an experienced business executive, we recognized that such projects don’t have a set formula. They need to be viewed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the industry, experience, and goals of the client.
Fresh college graduates may put all of their professional, academic, and extracurricular accomplishments and experiences on their résumés to help present a well-rounded first impression. But, experienced executives have to be more strategic about what information to include, targeting the business needs of the role to which they are applying. 2B not only helps translate résumés, but it helps turn them into clear narratives that show the progression from past experience to future goals. Without a thorough edit from a fresh set of eyes, this narrative often gets muddled.
Besides the universal consideration of what to include on a résumé, there are also specific challenges to translating a résumé from one business culture to another. Headshots, complex graphic design, and personal or family information unrelated to work are generally not part of résumés in America. Understanding the norms that surround the job search process in another culture is an important part of formulating an action plan. Committing any of these résumé faux pas can overshadow the content and leave the reader focused on insignificant cosmetic details.
2B made sure our client had a clear, professional résumé that would let his experience speak for itself. To learn more about our translation and editing services for jobseekers, see our website.
2B 這次非常有幸的為一名公司高層製作與翻譯履歷。在過程當中，我們了解到履歷的編制是沒有甚麼既定規則的，而是要依每一位客人想投遞的公司、產業及其學經歷，來為顧客量身打造一份最適合他們的履歷。
與社會新鮮人的履歷不同，公司高層的履歷則需要針對其所要投遞的職位慎選題材寫入當中。2B 會將高層交給我們過往經歷的素材，在經過一對一的討論與確認後，將合適及需要的素材翻譯及編入高層的履歷當中。2B 希望透過我們的編譯可以清楚闡明這些高階主管的優勢，並從一個局外者清的角度為這些主管打造它們的專屬履歷。
此外，文化上的差異及不同文化對履歷格式的要求也是我們希望替這群高階主管在翻譯的過程中把關的！就像所有的美國履歷，大頭照、個人或家庭資料、及過度花俏的美編都是不必要的，我們希望藉由2B對台灣及美國市場履歷格式的了解來替主管們打造出最適合其投遞國家的履歷。
在每一份編譯的履歷寄回給這些主管前，2B都為其清晰程度及專業度做了最嚴格的把關，希望履歷上主管們的每一筆經歷都能成為它們爭取新職位的最佳論證。我們希望透過2B的服務能成為主管到新職位的助力。若想更了解2B的業務與相關服務內容，請參考我們的網站。
