My current job entails tackling different types of translations. In the past years I have translated hundreds of pages in the following language combinations: English into Maltese and vice-versa, French into Maltese, Spanish into Maltese, English into Spanish and vice-versa, English into French and vice-versa and Italian into English. I have translated hundreds of pages for EU institutions and other EU bodies. The documents which I have translated vary in their nature: legal, medical, technical, birth certificates to name a few. Moreover, I revise translated documents. This requires someone who is very meticulous. I am also a certified proofreader in Maltese. I read texts and carefully check whether there are any orthographical mistakes. All of this is done while meeting very tight deadlines, which are part and parcel of my job. I have also acted as an interpreter during business meetings.

During these two years, I had the opportunity to work in one of Malta’s historical gems, St. John’s Co-Cathedral, situated in Valletta. I would hand out audio guides to visitors and explain to them how to use them, whenever possible in their mother tongue. In case of group visits lead by a tourist guide, I would prepare a set of transmitters for each individual, sometimes for groups of up to 50 persons. This also entailed a brief explanation, preferably in their own language. Otherwise, I would explain the procedure to the tourist guide in charge, who would later explain to them in their own language. This job also entailed preparing brochures to be handed out with audio guides and help out visitors with any queries.

I spent two summers working in a 5-star hotel. This job entailed giving a very professional service to hotel guests, correctly placing their order and efficiently delivering it. I would see that they would be comfortable and that their needs were being met at all times. Being a proficient foreign language speaker, they would appreciate being served in their native language.
