Help For Any Stage of Your Career
As a 1:1 standalone session, the CV Clinic is designed to help you troubleshoot issues on your career path or in your freelance business.

What Kind of Help Do You Need?
First impressions do count, and you want your CV to be eye-catching and persuasive to potential clients.
We know that you want to spend your working time doing what you do best: translating.
So, Clare is here to help you get your CV off your to-do list once and for all.
The Process
Before you meet online, Clare will review your CV, your LinkedIn profile and your website (if you have one). From that point, Clare will make lots of lovely in-depth notes, observations, and suggestions.
When it’s time to meet online, Clare will walk you through her notes, and you can take the time to talk about your plans, how things are going, or what you’d like to change in your working or business role.
No topic is off limits (within reason), but Clare does draw the line at Algebra. Fair enough.
Your CV will be in the very capable hands of someone who has been in the translation industry since 1991. At the end of the session, you’ll leave with immediate action notes and suggestions that will result in a polished, updated CV you can be proud of.
Reviews for Clare’s CV Clinic
“Clare reviewed my CV as part of her CV clinic. I liked the idea of getting the advice of an established agency director, and our session exceeded my expectations. The feedback she provided was in-depth, useful and easy to implement.”
“What a difference a conversation with the right person can make! Clare offered a CV review but our hour long session resulted in so much more than an improved CV. She selflessly offered her insight into the translation industry which she clearly knows inside out. What I find wonderful is that Clare genuinely cares about the freelancers who work for Atlas Translations.”
“Clare’s CV clinic was probably one of the best investments I could have made in my business. Clare took the time to go through my CV, my LinkedIn profile and my website copy. She identified what I had done well and what I could improve, but also gave me actionable tips and advice I could implement straightaway. This CV clinic provides so much more than what it says on the tin; Clare gave me expert feedback on my whole professional presence. Thank you Clare!”
“Clare recently reviewed my CV, LinkedIn profile and website as part of her CV clinic. I found the whole experience really useful. Her encouragement and personalised feedback made me feel much more confident about my CV and applying to agencies. It was great to find out exactly what translation agencies are looking for from an experienced agency director. She also answered questions about other aspects of the translation industry from the agency perspective and created a safe space where I could ask anything. She even took another look at my CV once I’d made the changes.”
“I was impressed by her commitment and the diligence with which she critiqued each aspect of my CV, LI profile and website. Clare offered considered, insightful feedback with actionable points that gave me a fantastic springboard for making improvements, and she was very generous with her time.“
