Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in translation, localization, or linguistic consultancy roles where my multicultural background and project leadership can add value. As a Korean-born linguist fluent in Korean and English, with working proficiency in Japanese and Chinese, I bring over a decade of experience delivering accurate and culturally nuanced translations across media, education, technology, and business sectors.
At Mirae Communications, I led end-to-end localization projects, collaborating with engineers, UX designers, and translators to deliver mobile and web localizations on time and within budget. My work emphasizes ensuring that every product feels native to its target audience beyond simple translation. I am highly proficient with industry-standard CAT tools (SDL Trados, MemoQ, Wordfast) and modern cloud localization platforms, enabling efficient workflows and consistent quality.
My academic foundation spans top universities in Korea, Japan, China, and the UK, where I studied translation, linguistics, and cross-cultural communication. I also hold a Certified Pro Translator (ITI, UK) credential. These experiences have strengthened my ability to navigate the nuances of language and culture with precision..
