How should this be edited?
"I am applying for interpretation position and Department of Defense. With several interpretation and translation experiences, I believe I could contribute to the Department."
Should it be interpreting position instead? If so, why should it be?
Please edit "I could contribute to the department..." this is to be used as career goal on the resume..

First, before the interpreting vs. interpretation issue; the articles are missing in the first sentence and I think and should be at. It should probably be the definitive article:
I am applying for the interpretation position at the Department of Defense.
Or if the job is not well defined:
I am applying for an interpretation position at the Department of Defense.
The interpreting vs. interpretation issue can be avoided by using a job title instead:
I am applying for the position of Interpreter at the Department of Defense.
or
I am applying for the position as an Interpreter at the Department of Defense.
Second, experience in this context is usually not counted, like in Last year I had four car accident experiences, but a matter of degree - little, extensive, fair amount of, a lot of.
It could be:
With three years of professional experience with interpretation and translation for Fortune 500 clients, I believe I could contribute to the Department."
