derniere chose si tu intitule tes documents utilise le mot "Resume" pour cv et "Cover letter" pour lettre de motivation

Une derniere chose qui me chagrine mais peut etre que j'ai tort. Dans la phrase..."it is essential to have work experience in an English speaking firm." j'ecrirais moi ... to have some work experience... ou alors ...to have an experience...

I too prefer the word Résumé and it should be spelt as such. I have given up on Personal Manager.

Hi Kate,

I actually have no idea. When I arrived here, I still had the A level on my resume and I was told it was hsc by a temping agency. Later on, my flatmate confirmed it as well but she did pass her hsc more than 10 years ago...

With "Resume" vs "Curriculum Vitae", my husband would say that when he applies for jobs in the Government or University sector, he always uses the more official "Curriculum Vitae," but if applying for a job in the 'real world' (as he calls it), he would use "Resume".

"to have an experience" I would definitely never use, as the 'an' to me seems quite vague. I'd use 'an experience' more in context of having a holiday or some other such thing.
'Some' in the other option may seem a little vague too, if you compare the 2, but I believe the 'some' refers to the amount of time for the specific work experience, and in that instance I'd write 'essential to have a period of work experience'.
So, selon moi: 1: refers to a length/period of time of a definite work experience
2. refers to a kind of undefined experience.

I hope this makes a tricky example appear a little more simple.

Also somebody seemed confused about 'Licence and License' (hehe most Australians are too, je crois!)
Perhaps the easiest way to know which one to use is to know that License is hardly ever used. So if you use it all the time, you'll hardly ever be wrong.
But to know the correct way to work it out......One usage for the rare version is as in "Liquor Licensing Commission" because then it is a verb.
But wherever it is a noun, ie any kind of licence, it will always be with a 'c'.
(It's exactly the same rule for Practice and Practise)

So, Franck, you're doing an official column for FDU with tips for CV's, if I've been able to understand your post ok?

Bonne idee.

I will still do one too, je pense, but only as a forum post under "Emplois & stages", as I think a few tips from an Australian native perspective might also be useful.

Kate

Je remonte le post.

Je suis en train de faire mon cv et j'ai une petite question sur la forme :

J'imagine qu'il vaut mieux preciser son type de visa et pour l'instant j'ai un visa fiance et il est ecrit sur mon visa provisional resident. Et je trouve que ni l'un ni l'autre sont tres "vendeurs".

Bref, est-ce que quelqu'un a une suggestion?

Merci

t'es sur que tu veux feter ca?
j'ai 965 et je galere en Oz

Pour en revenir à la traduction des diplomes pour l'Australie suite aux différents échanges:
Baccalauréat : High School Certificate
DUT/BTS : Diploma
Licence : Advanced diploma
Maitrise : Bachelor's degree
Ingénieur : Master's degree
Est-ce correct?
