I have been a member for a few months but I am just now strarting to set myself up as a freelance translator.My languages are french, spanish, portuguese, and english and I can do any combination.
I am struggling in putting together a stranslation resume Do I put only my experience that is relevant to translations or do I do a regular resume with my all work history?
I have been an account executive and interpretaror translator for an oil company in texas doind business with anada, central and south America for the last 12 years but I dont know if they consider it as freelance translator experience.Any tips

Hello Nburris.
I'm a newcomer myself to Translator Pub.
I would say in your resume, do include your experience as an accountant and while working for the oil company in Texas. You already have a great specialization there, although it was not freelance experience. It still was experience in the world of translation - must have been exciting.
Good luck,
Jacquie
