Re: Receptionist/Junior Translation Coordinator.
Dear All Languages Ltd hiring team
Please accept my resume as application for the position of Receptionist/Junior Translation Coordinator.
Having worked for three years at the Casa de la Memoria Museum in Medellín Colombia
(House of Memory Museum) I have had the opportunity to understand the importance of assertive communication to achieve transformative experiences for visitors/ customers. Also, as the person responsible for the national and international relations at the Casa de la Memoria Museum, I had to conduct tours, workshops as well as brief presentations about the Museum s collection in Spanish and English to a wide range of audiences. Therefore, I feel very comfortable talking to and building relationships with people.
Moreover, I am currently working as a Museum Interpreter for the City of Mississauga, assisting logistics and communication strategies to enhancing costumer services and achieving community relevance in the events organized by the City. My work experience in the PR field, the communication and networking skills I have gained through these years make me a competitive candidate for the Receptionist/Junior Translation Coordinator at all Languages Ltd
If you would like to get in touch to discuss my application and to arrange an interview, you can contact me via phone number 226-***-**-** or by my e-mail ************@*****.*** I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Carolina Betancur.
