Traductions et interprétations sérieuses en anglais
Situations in which my interpreting skills may be called upon and the factors I take into consideration when giving an estimate.
Background Information
I have worked for the last three years for English and French clients of an Anglo-French estate agency in Vichy. My interpreting work has involved face-to-face two-way interpreting between French vendors and English clients, interpreting at notaires' (lawyers') offices at the signing of contracts and then helping English purchasers to set up their homes in France. Through my estate agency work I have developed a good understanding of building terms and architectural terms and have also been through the process of rebuilding and modernising my own property so can assist with the administrative requirements for building and developing properties. I am sympathetic and professional in my work.
I work in the Puy de Dôme and the Allier
