Your CV/Resume for Translation Services
As a matter of fact, clients aren't interested at all in your hobbies unless they could be related and/or useful for translation work. They need to know only about your...
language skills
relevant experience
professional competence and dedication
communication skills
computer hardware/software
rates
Everything else is simply irrelevant. They have no time for your life story as they probably will never meet you. So your freelancing CV can be shorter than a normal job application CV.
Tip: Your CV should not be more than two pages long. One page is best. Some people include a large list of every project they have covered in 2-3 pages long. Don't do it! Choose carefully the best projects to illustrate the subjects that you cover. Nobody is going to read a 3 pages list of nonsense.
Tip: Use a 12-point font and stay away from fancy fonts. Times New Roman will do fine. After all, you want the client to read your CV, not spend time admiring the fonts that you use.
