List where you are going to school, and anticipated graduation date

Translators translate written material. If you speak a different language, you would interpret.

All those wonderful, but unmeasurable descriptors of what you did at the hospital, yet no job title or dates will be a big red flag. Better be able to back those statements up in an interview, as well as explain why you no longer work there. Also your accomplishment are a mix of current and past tense. Since you no longer work there, those are all past accomplishments.

Good luck

As far as interpreting & translating JC recommendations are that facilities only use qualified medical interpreters not bilingual staff. Look into getting credentialed as that will only boost your resume.

Can you send me an example? Do you have one you can send as a guide? I googled some, but everything is so different and subjective to one's own opinion...I worked on a tele/surgical unit, I need specific examples for that kind of unit..
