About us
Common questions regarding our translation, writing and proofreading services.
GeoWord’s primary areas of expertise are General Management, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Creative fields. We have a breadth of experience in many sectors within these fields.
Our unique Content Feedback is the best place to start if you’re unsure what your English resumé or cover letter needs. GeoWord experts who have extensive experience in recruitment with leading multi-nationals will read your resumé and provide written feedback pinpointing the exact areas where your resumé needs work. This is a quick and low-cost way to understand what's required to get your documents into tip-top shape.
You may hear the terms CV and resumé bandied about. Are they different? The answer is yes and no.
When applying for a job in the U.S. you will be asked to send a resumé and in Europe you will be asked for a Curriculum Vitae or CV for short. Technically, there is a difference between the two - A resumé highlights or gives a top-level description of your work experience, and a CV provides more detail about your experience, and will therefore, be slightly longer.
Practically speaking however, a CV and a resumé are the same thing - The U.S. resumé and the European CV both spotlight professional experience, education, and qualifications and skills. The team at GeoWord has had extensive experience in recruitment internationally, including in the U.S., and both terms are used interchangeably. So for the purpose of simplicity, the GeoWord website uses the term “resumé.”
There is one caveat though for academic CVs, which have a specialized format and is a comprehensive record of one’s academic, research and teaching experience.
Yes, GeoWord does offer student discounts and they already built into our pricing. When you select a service, be sure to select “Student” as your Level. To be eligible for student prices, you must currently be matriculated as a student in a university or college.
