Dear Hiring
Manager, 

I am pleased to submit my application for the
position of Translator, and it would be a privilege to work for your company. Upon
reviewing my attached resume and letter of recommendation, you will notice that
my professional experience and education have contributed to the development of
my language skills.

Passionate
about languages, I chose to leave Quebec at the age of 18 to work in Alberta
and learn English. Subsequently, I obtained a college diploma in languages and literature,
followed by a bachelor’s degree in graphic communication.

Translation
and copywriting of various documents have always been an integral part of my
responsibilities as a bilingual graphic designer. Being also in charge of
marketing, communications, social media, and web management, I have juggled
multiple priorities while meeting tight deadlines. Furthermore, I pursued a
coaching training program accredited by the International Coaching Federation,
which enabled me to write a book, deliver presentations, and work as a radio
columnist. These experiences have honed my language skills and expertise in
planning, organizing and time management.

In
January 2021, I obtained a contract as a Translator-Reviser for an
international company headquartered in the United States. At the end of the
latter, due to budgetary constraints, I opted to travel solo for several months
in South-East Asia, the United States and British Columbia (Canada). Throughout
this enriching journey, my proficiency in English enabled me to interact with
people from different nationalities.

Due
to my passion for travel, writing, literature, and research, as well as my
attention to detail, I have become a diligent and meticulous translator. Having
an excellent mastery of both French and English, I would be delighted to demonstrate
my skills. Thank you for considering my application for this position, and
please feel free to reach out to me for any further information.

Sincerely,

Nadia
Caouette
