Four weeks down, two to go Nicholas Jones
The number of marriage certificates seems to multiply by the week, primarily from Mexico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Obviously, British tourists adore those places. During my time here I’ve also had some business texts to translate which to my surprise have been interesting!
The thing I have mostly been doing, however, is helping to design a database featuring all our interpreters. Until now, the company has been mostly focused on translation, due to the recent increased demand for our interpreting services I have been scouring numerous websites looking for more interpreters from around the UK. So far an additional 200 have agreed to work for us. Once they have agreed, I have sent them Linguist packs to fill in, so that we can fully complete the registration process.
I have certainly felt very useful in building up the company’s list of interpreters.
In addition, I recently learnt how to use the in-house project management system. I have found that this is a very efficient programme for meeting customer commitments. The programme is also useful for ensuring customer deadlines are met.
A few days ago, I had my first review – my second review will be when the internship ends. I did very well in it, and the two staff who spoke to me said they were impressed by my efficiency and determination. This was true in both my translation work and my administrative/marketing work, especially to do with the interpreters. I think things are going very well, and long may that continue.
