  -> Thanks, Susana
agree  Donna Sandin: but in Brazil "qualification" has a stronger meaning - you may not be able to work as a journalist if you have not been "qualified" to do so. This does not change the translation of the word, just for future reference.

Professional career


Explanation:
Ou professional skills.
Habilitação só por si significa pouco ou nada traduzido em Inglês. Habilitação é ou pode ser deduzida do português sem que tenhamos que adicionar Professional (a habilitação) ou a esta classificação. No entanto Habilitação só por si indicanos que se trata de ''skills'' ou experiência mais que uma formação obtida num colégio ou universidade onde a pessoa se graduou.
