Why Should You Enrol on the Linguist CV Masterclass?
Your CV Is Your First Translation Job - Make Sure It's a Good One!
So, you're a bilingual professional with language skills, qualifications, and real experience. You've put in the work. Now you need to land the clients, the agencies and the assignments that reflect that. The problem is, a CV that doesn't present you well is invisible - and in a competitive market, invisible means overlooked.
A linguist's CV is a particular challenge. You spend years developing a highly specialised set of skills, acquiring qualifications, building up your language pairs and specialist areas - and then you have to condense all of that into a document that a project manager will glance at for about ten seconds before deciding whether to add you to their database. The stakes are real, and the margin for getting it wrong is small.
The Linguist CV Masterclass from linguisttraining.com is a free, practical online course that helps you get this right. It covers what translation agencies and project managers actually look for when reviewing a linguist's CV, how to structure and present your experience and qualifications effectively, what to include and - just as importantly - what to leave out, and how to pitch yourself for the kind of work you actually want to do.
That last point is more valuable than it sounds. There's a significant difference between a CV that lists everything you've ever done and one that positions you clearly and compellingly for the work you're targeting. The Masterclass helps you understand that difference and act on it - so that when a project manager opens your CV, they immediately understand who you are, what you do, and why they should work with you.
The insight from project managers included in the course gives you a genuine look behind the curtain. "The insights from project managers were especially valuable and gave me a new perspective on shaping my CV," said one recent student. When you understand what the people hiring you are actually looking for, you can present yourself in a way that genuinely resonates - rather than guessing.
The Masterclass is free (use the code at checkout), fully online and self-paced. It's short enough to complete in a single sitting if you want to, but practical enough to keep coming back to as your career develops and your CV evolves. Whether you're just starting out as a freelance translator or Interpreter, returning to the profession after a break, or looking to reposition yourself for more specialist or better-paid work, a well-crafted CV is the foundation of everything.
Your CV is, in a sense, your first translation job. You're taking everything you know and everything you've done, and rendering it into a form that communicates your value clearly to someone who doesn't know you yet. This Masterclass helps you do that well.
