CALA’s MS in Translation and the SPS Wasserman Center recently partnered with the global employer TransPerfect for a virtual resume review event open to students interested in careers in translation, marketing, and project management. TransPerfect is among the largest language services companies in the world, with offices in over 100 cities and specialities including translation, media localization, and e-discovery. Representatives of the company spoke with 12 SPS students on Friday, February 21, to discuss their resumes and career goals.
“The SPS Wasserman Center had been working with TransPerfect for a number of years,” says Stephanie Cziczo of Wasserman, who helped to spearhead the event. Cziczo and her contacts at TransPerfect devised the virtual resume review session “to deepen relationships with students in Translation and Project Management, but also other SPS programs.” Each student submitted a resume in advance of the event and spent 15 minutes with a TransPerfect representative receiving feedback and discussing relevant roles at the company.
“I was really excited when Stephanie told me that TransPerfect was going to hold a resume review day with us,” recalls Lu Liu, a Translation Society member who helped to coordinate the event. “I had a great time talking with Darya and she gave me valuable feedback on my resume. She also shared with me the translator’s daily responsibility and how different departments work together as a team at TransPerfect.”
Given the high level of student interest in the first resume review day, Cziczo is hoping to set up another session in the coming months. “Lu and the Translation Society jumped on the opportunity and really brought the event together,” she says. “The feedback I have received from both the employer and the students was that the event was very beneficial, and we hope to hold another in the future!”
