Perhaps it was a family member, a friend, a school counselor, a job search coach, a career center staffer, etc. When I found my job at Amazon, a friend helped translate translated my resume into French. He did a great job, and the result was memorable in a completely unintentional but positive way- there were some Quebecois expressions that got a chuckle from French recruiters.
