Dear Sirs.,
I am an English to Portuguese (native) translator based in the city of Aveiro (Portugal) and I would like to offer my services to your company,
My specializations include business translations, and more specifically technical financial language, due to my 15 years experience working as an investment adviser in a bank. I also feel very comfortable working other subjects... and I just love new challenges!
I have legal knowledge, (so it is easy for me to use the right terms and check for any issue within the text), and a technical degree in Marketing, Advertising and Public Relations, which helps me to choose the best comunication approach for every text that I write.
I was ranked 1st by oDesk out of all 1867 English to Portuguese translator test takers, I was also ranked as a 5 stars translator by Unbabel (mostly life style articles) and all tasks I took so far for Gengo got 100% approval. I'm a fast typist, and I try to be more accurate by submitting all my translations through several tests, including 3rd person reading.
Considering the 1-20 grade scale used in Portugal's teaching system (being 20 the highest score) my portuguese language grades never went below 19 and as for english never below 18.
I'm a Portuguese native speaker, but I also lived for 2 years in Macau, where you have to speak more English than Portuguese.
If needed, you can test my skills through a smaller job.
Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional information. Best regards
