Dear Sir/Madam,
I hereby would like to put my name forward for the job in question.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Glasgow and always keen on furthering my knowledge and gaining new freelance, and general professional translatory experience.
My field of expertise is literary translation, from English to German, being a native German speaker and having lived, worked and studied in the UK for almost seven years. I graduated in November 2017 with an MSc Translation Studies with Merit, from Glasgow, after having received an MA English Language 2.1 in 2016 from the same institution.
I currently work as a localisation tester for leading and established video-game publishers, which is giving me a lot of experience with proofreading, optimising texts and developing an eye for grammatical and stylistic details. Working according to exact stylistic, legal and formatting guidelines is essential in this job and a skill I have to apply on a daily basis.
All of the above make me well prepared for taking on the job in question and makes me versatile and competent so that I can comply to any, or most, proofreading/localising/translatory demands.
Kind regards,
Ansgar Hastenpflug
