Experience Translation Workbook

Convert genuine responsibilities and outcomes into evidence a UK employer recognises.

When this helps: Overseas or non-standard experience

What you end up with: Rewritten role history that is truthful and locally understandable.

Time: about 45 minutes

For each role you held

  • What were you responsible for, in one sentence a stranger would understand?
  • What decisions were yours to make?
  • What changed because you were there?

On numbers

  • Only include figures you genuinely know and can defend.
  • Where no reliable figure exists, describe the outcome qualitatively — 'complaints about missed deliveries stopped' is strong evidence.
  • Never estimate a percentage to make a bullet look stronger.
