Applying for an internship as a translator

bpforever1 · Nov 25, 2020 at 08:54 AM

Hi,

So, I am in the midst of translating excerpts for an internship position. I will volunteer my services for awhile to build my resume as a translator. I am doing medical translation which is not easy. It is hard to break into this field. I asked this translation company if I could be an intern for awhile. They said they were open to the possibility. I hope it works out for me. I am teaching now too so I am doing ok. My load fluctuates as a teacher so my pay is going up and down. I am making barely enough to survive. However, it is better than nothing. I will try to cover for other teachers too to earn more money for this holiday season. I will try to intern for a year at this translation company. I wonder if this is too long but really need the experience. Also, I can apply to other translation companies while building my resume. I guess, I am happy!

Thanks!

That sounds awesome! I used to do translation work on a side. They still sometimes call me but it just isn’t working for me anymore time wise. It’s well paid and a good job. Good luck with internship.

All the best, i started in retail companies doing voluntary work work. My break through came years ago, and now every retail company will consider hiring me. I was supposed to work for a retail store for good money and hours, but my birth certificate was ruined, so i was rejected.
