Frequently Asked Questions

How do I avoid awkward direct translations on my English resume?
Don't translate phrase-by-phrase from your native language. Write the underlying achievement, then express it in idiomatic English. AI tools (ours included) can rewrite your draft into native-quality English while preserving every quantified fact.
Should I mention I speak multiple languages?
Yes — bilingualism and multilingualism are strong differentiators for any international or multinational role. List each language with CEFR level (A1-C2). Native speakers can write "Native" or "Mother tongue".
Do I need IELTS or TOEFL on my resume?
Helpful for US, UK, Canada, and Australia roles where English proficiency is a hiring criterion — list the test, score, and date. Not needed if you've already worked in an English-speaking country or completed an English-medium degree.
Should I anglicise my name on my resume?
Generally no — use your legal name. If your name has a non-Latin script (Chinese, Arabic, Cyrillic, Devanagari), include both the original script and the Latin transliteration. Anglicising can create legal mismatches with visas and background checks.
