Our second Online Career Day took place yesterday. The guest speaker Mr. Adzovic started his presentation recounting quite a motivational story of his initial experiences working as a translator and assistant for the United Nations. He explained his career path from that particular position to a position within the Council of Europe, and finally, that of a private sector analyst. He offered advice on how to prepare for job interviews, deal with tight deadlines, avoid ambiguity when translating, etc. Adzovic also spoke about his work on important, international projects and he emphasized the importance of English for doing such work. Perseverance, good preparation and organizational skills are just some of the important characteristics that our guest mentioned and deemed most important for successful translators to have.
