RE: Brazilian Portuguese Interpreter/Translator
To Whom It May Concern;
I read with interest your posting for Portuguese Interpreters/Translators on the LinkedIn
Network. I believe I possess the necessary skills and experience you are seeking and
would make a valuable addition to your company.
As my resume indicates, I possess 9+ years of progressive experience in the Language
Communication field. My professional history includes positions such as interpreter,
Translator, ESL Instructor, Accent reduction professional as well as proof-reader and
editor.
Accepting challenges is the foundation of my life experiences and something I do with
confidence. You will find me a totally committed individual, spontaneous and
communicative. I can simultaneously interpret, cope with a huge variety of difficult
situations with accuracy, I am also careful and patient, and am able to rework and edit
drafts of a text and I need little direction to complete assigned tasks.
From past experiences, I have acquired persuasive techniques that are needed to keep
up with a rapid speaker, restructure syntax, voice quality and intonation. My leadership
skills are developed and have allowed me to spontaneously interact with ethnic diverse
populations and all age groups. I am a motivator and organizer and these skills have
enabled me to effectively mediate between speakers of different languages. Teamwork
is another skill I have acquired and one I know is necessary for organizational
cohesiveness.
I have attached my resume for your review and I look forward to speaking with you
further regarding your available position.
Sincerely,
William Souza.
