OK my first week is over (plus Kobe, i found the translation for my new position!)

[U2girl]

Quite busy (NERVOUS!), but it went ok. What i had to do so far:

- write letters to suppliers in English
- send emails to customers, also in English
- pick up a few phones, more English
- fill out lots of copies of official forms
- i also made a new form for the company
- translate from Slovene to English and vice versa at a meeting
- send faxes to customers/ suppliers
- also i started learning to make invoices
- translate manuals for a product from English to Slovene

Everyone at the company is really nice, so that's another bonus - plus the firm is so close i can either go to work by bus/car/bycicle.

I think i used more English in real life than ever since my high school years, but - i always wanted to have a job which would include my knowledge of the language.

Kobe: my position is commercialist - intern. It means the job lasts for 6 months, but it's a start and i really felt closer to being an adult when i was going home on that first day on Monday.

[Screaming Flower]

sounds very cool mojomama. kobe will be pleased to hear about your new position.

 

[Sicy]

does this "position" involve mojo?

They must be impressed with your English skills... as long as you dont have to translate any English slang.

Shame.....shame on you folks

*gives the evil eye to all the mojo people*

Ahem, thanks for your replies...i guess.

Amanda: oh yeah? What's your job - no longer teaching? Eh it's quite busy, and you know, some things are easier and some i get done better than others, but i think i'll be ok.

Shannon: we'll have to wait and see what he has to say.

Sicy: mojo? At work? Naaaah, even if there was any slang coming up, i can always make up some clean interpretation.

 

[Angela Harlem]

Thats so cool Maja. Everytime I hear about your job, I am glad I dont have a translator position anywhere. I couldn't trust myself!
