Usage notes

[edit]
  • Should often be translated with a different part of speech, for example "be entrusted with" (saada luottamustehtävä).
  • Very often incorrectly translated in CV headings and even dictionaries (e.g. WSOY, MOT) as "confidential post" or "position of trust" (see Position of trust on Wikipedia.Wikipedia ) instead of one of the many possible correct terms used in English, including "positions (held)", "present / other positions", "(professional) affiliations", "work experience", "community involvement", "career", "memberships", "other activities", "activities and interests", "additional experience", "community leadership and service", "professional leadership and service", "honorary positions/posts", and many others (depending on whether these positions form part of one's career or not).
