A: I would like to move away from teaching and work as a full-time translator.
 My first experiences as a translator have been very rewarding.
B: Could you please tell me more about these experiences?

 I have had the chance to take on several translation jobs, mostly related to marketing.
B: Why do you think you would be a good match for this position?
A: I am thorough and meticulous, and I like working on my own. Also, as a teacher,
 I am used to criticism and I take it very well.
 My first professional experiences in translation have been very successful.
B: What are your greatest strengths?
A: I am independent and creative, and I work very well under pressure.
 My years in different language schools have prepared me for many different situations. 
B: What about your weaknesses?
A: Well, I can be a bit too much of a perfectionist, but I’m working on it and adapting to tight deadlines.
B: Thank you very much. Would you be willing to do a translation test for us?
