I am a multi-skilled, reliable and talented translator with a proven ability to translate written documents from a source language to a target language. A quick learner who can absorb new ideas and can communicate clearly and effectively with people from all social and professional backgrounds. I am well mannered, articulate and fully aware of diversity and multicultural issues. Flexibility is key as one needs to adapt to challenges when they arise and at the same time remaining aware of professional roles and boundaries.
I have studied for Electronic Engineering at College, and completed several Dale Carnegie courses including Public Speaking and Leadership. I have also completed an English Grammar and Spelling course, an English Communications course and an English First Language Course. I have completed and passed English Spelling tests (US & UK), Office Skills Test and the essential Email Etiquette Certification.
I am able to translate 2000 words accurately per day and complete 5000 words of editing and proofreading. I am fully bilingual. I come from an English speaking home, in an English speaking community. Afrikaans was my second language at school and as 90% of the community was Afrikaans speaking, I am now proficient in speaking both languages.
Thank you for taking the time to read my application.
Kind Regards
Dean Fynn
