"I can truthfully say that I never know what awaits me at the start of each day at Polaron! It has been a really steep but exciting learning curve. I deal with translators and interpreters in languages I never even knew existed, like Oromo, Twi or Kannada. My work is about juggling priorities, being persistent and making things happen. Hearing that an interpreting assignment went well, or that the client is happy about the translation we've just delivered gives us a real buzz at the office. I am a really positive and generally happy person, and I love solving problems for our clients - with a smile. It gives me a lot of satisfaction and it saves them a headache! " |
