Swedish term

prestigelös

Swedish to English Other Idioms / Maxims / Sayings On a CV
It's on my client's CV. He is prestigelös. Not 100 % what that means. On google I found "humble" but that doesn't seem to fit. Any ideas?

un-complicated self-effacing is not the same thing. It means shy that is not necessarily true of somebody who is prestigelös.
George Hopkins Oct 17, 2008:
Beware Open-minded, or unprejudiced. In Swedish the word prestige tends to have a negative meaning.
Annabel Oldfield (asker) Oct 17, 2008:
Or I've now found "self-effacing" so I'm closing the question
Annabel Oldfield (asker) Oct 17, 2008:
But It's a positive characteristic in the CV and he has appplied for a top managerial position
Annabel Oldfield (asker) Oct 17, 2008:
Prestigelös Could it be that he's not afraid of criticism?
