Job Application & CV Check

You want to apply for a job in a German-speaking country or Poland and are not sure whether your application letter and CV are written impeccably? I can proofread your documents and give you tips in relation to their content and form.

I review your application documents not just on a linguistic level, but also pay close attention to important details and carry out additional research on them if necessary. This includes questions like:

  • Do German employers really expect to receive CVs in chart form from job candidates? What must such a CV contain and what is an absolute "no go"?
  • Would a British HR manager expect the candidate to mention his or her religious beliefs in a CV? If not, why?
  • What is understood in Poland by a covering letter and how long should it be?

Feel free to send me your documents via e-mail and specify the details of your application. Remuneration will be set by agreement.

  • Standard lines, prices per word, matches - calculation of translation prices

    In Germany it is customary to calculate prices for translation work with the help of standardised lines of text, so-called ‘Normzeilen’ consisting of 55 characters each including blanks. The number of characters in a source text (original text) or in a target text (translation) can be used as the basis for price calculation. In case of non-electronic texts usually the target text is used for convenience.

  • Reimbursement of translation costs

    Although translations are often indispensable, they are also expensive. As a customer, it is natural that you want to make sure your translation is accurate and meeting the highest standards. It is a great pity when the price is the only criterion for choosing a translator and you eventually have to pay more when problems with the alleged cheaper solution arise.

  • Is Google Translate a good alternative?

    The notion that translators are an endangered species has already been circulating for some time. Machine translation (MT) offered by companies such as Google or Bing is, after all, free of charge and available any time. Granted: MT is improving year on year. It is fairly adequate for private purposes, for example when you are abroad and need quick help with directions or a hotel booking. Even if you cannot rely fully on the offered translations, communication is simplified.
