The CV translation is related to a number of difficulties that can be got around only by an applicant whose Russian is perfect. If the knowledge of Russian leaves much to be desired, it is better to entrust the CV translation to professional translators.
The major challenge of CV translation into Russian is translating the names of educational institutions, departments, job titles, academic degrees, etc. All standards applied in the country, where an applicant is planning to get a job, should be exactly complied with. In addition, it is important to provide the proper translation of previous job titles and work places, to list received certificates and awards, and to describe in brief the relevant skills and research results. Good knowledge of the language is just a half way, because it is essential to feel and to know its specific features, terms and rules for the preparation of relevant documents.
By entrusting the CV translation into Russian to professionals an applicant receives a proper CV without unfortunate mistakes, which can be taken by a recruiter as negligence and make him question the applicant’s proficiency in language. Mistakes in CV written in foreign languages are very common. It should be noted that mistakes do not necessarily indicate that an applicant does not speak a foreign language fluently. In most cases, these are mistypes or incorrect selection of words that can be avoided by contacting a translation agency. Then, at the interview an applicant will have a chance to demonstrate his knowledge of Russian in private conversation, and if it is not enough, he will also show his professional skills and personal charm.
