I am a native Chinese speaker from Hong Kong. I was an English major student at school and have scored a full mark for my IELTS listening paper. So far, I have translated countless articles and two books which were published in 2015. I have also just proofread a brochure for the Celebrity Cruises. I am currently living in the USA and working as a freelancer.
I am good at time management. I used to have part time jobs when I was studying. And there was never a problem to manage my schedule between school and work. I can always handle my school work and perform well at work at the same time. Besides, I am used to work under pressure. For example, I was once received 30 recipes and had to translated all of them within 10 hours in order to meet the publishing deadline. I consider myself as a responsible and self-disciplined person which I reckon is crucial for a freelancer.
What makes me stand out from other applicants is that I am a Chinese who grew up in Hong Kong. Hong Kong, as an international city that gives me lots of opportunities to developed myself and widen my horizon. On one hand, I travel a lot which allows me to understand more about foreign culture. On the other hand, as a Chinese, I love my culture and can understand it very well. Therefore, I believe I can understand the content thoroughly and translate it into either Chinese or English.
Thank you very much for considering me for this position. Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information.
