The Role
They always thanked me for the work I did
They were always willing to answer any questions I had
Sometimes things were too quiet or too busy, but most of the time it was a good balance
I was given quite a bit of responsibility, communicating with translators and clients, but when I was given projects to manage they were small
I learnt a lot about working in a translation office and working in the translation industry
The Company
The atmosphere was usually quiet but friendly and relaxed
It took a while for my intitial training to be completed but it was set up well, especially considering how busy everyone was
There were no jobs available within the company but I have the opportunity to work for them as a freelancer
The Culture
In London so very expensive
