Difficulties to translate my french CV into English #1 (permalink) Sat Jan 10, 2009 19:13 pm   Difficulties to translate my french CV into English
 

Hello, sorry for disturbing you but a friend adviced me to ask you here.

I'm French and i have to give an English CV in order to postulate for a job.
My English is just "regular" (if it means something...) and i really have dificulties to create it.
The main problem is finfing the equivalence of my diplomas: does a "Master" means in English "five years after Baccalaureate" (GCEA level in England it seems)? What about a Licence (3 years after Baccalaureate/GCEA in France) ?
I'm kind of lost ... and the examples i found hardly helped me...
Thank you if you can indicate something about it... and maybe I'll be asking you for something else later Wink

PS: if (not if, i know i did Confused ) there is some mistakes in my english writing, I would be grateful if you could correct me !

Licence(French) = BA / Bachelor of Arts (English). Three years after the Baccalaureate (Before it was four years).
Master(French) = MA / Master of Arts (English). You study three years to get a BA, and then continue to study for 2 years to get a MA. As you mentioned, five yeas are Baccalaureate.

Take care
