About the Project: I am looking for CV help! My spouse & I need to translate our verbose, 3-page US style resumes into a crisp, clean French style CV.
About Me: I am a mid-career cybersecurity professional who is looking for tech jobs in France. English is my first language, so I don’t want to misrepresent my skills by using a French language CV (yet—I will get better at French after I land that job!) I am open to your advice if you say a CV in French is better than an English CV, despite applying to English-language roles.
About You: I’m seeking a professional with contemporary French tech career knowledge. Ideally, you have expertise in reviewing CVs and haves lived & worked in France within the past 5 years. Preference will be given to someone with a solid understanding of relevant technology terms.
My Expectations: You will help me design a new CV and craft my work experience into the French CV format without sacrificing too much detail. I plan to keep the CV in English, so this is mainly a stylistic and word choice update. If I like the result, I will have a second resume for a similar transformation.
How we will work: Mostly asynchronous—email is ideal but we can talk on voice or video chat as needed. I am on US Eastern time (6 hours behind France), so that would happen during your evening hours, when necessary.
I can provide resources I’ve used to understand the difference between US and French CVs.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to working with you and please reach out for any clarification.
