The challenge:n

  • Strong work experience from home but roles and companies not recognisable to UK recruiters
  • Not sure whether to translate job titles directly or adapt them
  • Unsure how to contextualise organisations that UK employers will not know

nnQuestions for people who have navigated this:n

  • Did you add context brackets after company names (e.g. “KPMG India — top 4 professional services firm”)?
  • Did you translate job titles to UK equivalents or keep the original?
  • How did you handle work experience in a language other than English?
