Hello.
I am a professional English-Italian interpreter and translator and I would like to express my interest in the job you posted.
I'm a trained interpreter and translator, holding a Master's degree in Conference Interpreting, and I am convinced this can make the difference in a project like yours. As an interpreter, I am used to translate oral texts and to provide accurate, target-oriented translations even when the message is not completely clear, or grammatically correct. This is often an asset when you have to translate interviews.
Being a native Italian speaker, I have an excellent command of my native language, which could be helpful to perfectly understand what the speaker says, whatever his accent or style. I also have a strong grasp of English and I am used to carefully proofread every translation before submitting it.
In addition, I've always had to do many transcriptions in order to complete different interpreting or translation jobs. When I was still a student, I had to transcribe various texts - mainly oral texts - for academic purpose. For my graduation thesis, I conducted a study on conference interpreting based on transcriptions.
In conclusion, being a newbie on Freelancer.com, I know I have to fight against fierce competitors, but I believe my skills could be the perfect fit for this job.
I appreciate your consideration and look froward to hear from you.
Regards,
Donatella Marinelli
