TRANSLATE: Templates

TRANSLATE: Pick a layout, keep your words

TRANSLATE: Every template is built to survive being printed, emailed and skim-read in thirty seconds — which is roughly how long a first pass actually takes.

TRANSLATE: How it works

TRANSLATE: Three steps

  1. TRANSLATE: Fill it in

    TRANSLATE: Your details, your history, your education. Skip anything that does not apply.

  2. TRANSLATE: Choose a template

    TRANSLATE: Switch between them freely — your text carries across.

  3. TRANSLATE: Download the PDF

    TRANSLATE: Yours to keep, send and edit again later.

TRANSLATE: Before you send it

TRANSLATE: What actually gets a CV read in Nepal

TRANSLATE: Put your phone number where it can be seen
TRANSLATE: Top of page one, next to your name. A recruiter who has to hunt for it will often move on to the next file instead.
TRANSLATE: Two pages, not five
TRANSLATE: For anything under ten years of experience, one page is usually enough and two is the ceiling. Length is not evidence of substance.
TRANSLATE: Write what changed, not what you were responsible for
TRANSLATE: “Reduced monthly closing from nine days to four” tells a hiring manager more than “responsible for month-end closing”.
TRANSLATE: Name the systems you have actually used
TRANSLATE: Tally, Excel, the specific payroll or ERP system. These are often exactly what is being searched for.
TRANSLATE: Match the language of the advert
TRANSLATE: If the posting is in English, send English. If it is in Nepali, either is usually fine — but be consistent within the document.
TRANSLATE: Check the file name
TRANSLATE: “Ram_Bahadur_CV.pdf” — not “cv final final 2.pdf”. It is the first thing an employer sees, before they open anything.

TRANSLATE: Hiring rather than applying?

TRANSLATE: We recruit as well as train

TRANSLATE: Recruitment sits inside our Workforce Operations service, alongside payroll and compliance — because the handover between hiring someone and employing them properly is where most of the errors happen.
