00Dear Sir, Dear Madam02br
02br
00Re: work placement02br
02br
00I study Modern Applied Languages (LEA) at the Université de Bretagne Occidentale in Brest and I am currently looking for a 3-month work placement in a British translation company. This work placement will be the conclusion of my Bachelor.02br
02br
00My courses range from English and German to economics and law. I also passed a scientific Baccalaureate (the equivalent of the British A-Level): I had the chance to attend many different kinds of courses which is an advantage in translation.02br
02br
00I already had the occasion to see what the translator’s job is made of. I translated for example articles and lyrics for a band’s fan site. In my courses in France, I had different translation courses (translation from French to English or from English to French, consecutive interpreting…). I spent the second year of my degree abroad in Germany where I attended a German-English translation course.02br
02br
00Next year, I will apply for a master in translation either in France or abroad.02br
02br
00I’m actually available for this work placement from the 1501sup00th02sup00 February and always available for further questions or for a possible interview.02br
02br
00Yours sincerely02br
