resume writing

[shariperkins.livejournal.com]

I am currently working on translating my resume from English into Russian. I need to describe my language level, and am realizing that usually when I've heard people -- even Russians around me -- describe their level, they have used English words: advanced, intermediate, pre-intermediate and so forth. How does one correctly say that their Russian skills are advanced?

I used to write продвинутый or свободное владение

[fint.livejournal.com]

"продвинутый уровень"
Но я бы просто сказал, "свободное владение языком"

I have to remind that the working language of this community is English. Thank you.

Don't use "продвинутый", it is a calque from English that looks awful. Свободный is OK but it rather means "fluent".

This is exactly my problem ... I am certainly advanced, but I don't want to claim to be fluent yet ... Fluency is very hard to define, and I'd hate to seem to have overstated my level.

Try "уверенный уровень владения русским языком".

Тут всё не так однозначно. Язык живёт и меняется, и на мой взгляд, как бы ретрограды не цеплялись за старые привычки, такая форма становится всё более и более распространённой. Я бы мог написать такое в своём собственном резюме. С другой стороны, я полностью согласен с тем, что иностранцам такого делать не рекомендкется - подумают что они так написали из-за плохого знания русского.

Well, it's not all that clear cut. A language is a living thing and this usage accepted somewhat wider nowadays than it used to be in the past. I can see myself using this word in my CV. However, I'm totally with you on that I wouldn't recomend this for a language learner, because it's for sure would be attributed to thier poor russian.

So, is there a Russian version which would communicate "higher than intermediate, but not quite fluent"?

There are basic(базовый), elementary (элементарный), 1, ,2,3 and 4 certificate leels in Russian system. It's possible to use "продвинутый" или "уровень выше среднего" for description of your knowledge level.

there is no russian terminology, afair. so it is possible to use english term "advanced" even in russian speech :)

[pinky-the-cow.livejournal.com]

"Мой уровень русского выше среднего" :)

[maneka.livejournal.com]

"продвинутый" is widely used in cv's. imho

You can also specify your language level descriptively. For example:

- Читаю и пишу со словарём, могу поддержать беседу на знакомую тему.
