Dear Sirs,
Searching for career opportunities in translation on an international level, I became a Professional Member of the Freelancer website and I am writing to express my interest in your job offer.
I have been working as a sports journalist for 20 years in my country, Greece, covering a large range of Olympic, individual and team, sports.
My current employer is Eurosport Greece since 2002 as a Freelance Sports Journalist. During my 20 year-old career in journalism, I have also worked for the Press Offices of both the “Athens 2004” Bid Committee and the “Athens 2004” Organising Committee. I have also worked for various media (written and electronic Press, radio).
I have also worked as a primary school and English teacher, given my teaching bachelor’s degree and as a secretary in an agency representing Italian aluminium industries in Greece. This experience includes translation and interpretation (Italian to Greek, English and French and vice versa).
I believe I have many skills that could benefit your organisation. I am dedicated, hardworking and enthusiastic, with a strong passion for sports, mostly on an international level. Apart from my mother tongue, Greek and my fluency in written and spoken English, I can also translate from English, Italian, Spanish and French. I also speak some Russian.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this application.
Yours sincerely,
Dionysia Gioti
