Sample cover letter for Internship position at Runtastic
Translator
Dear xxx,
I am writing to apply for the position of translator as advertised recently on
xxx. I am a qualified translator with a Master of Arts in Translation from xxx. As a
recent graduate, I am excited to hear of this position in the field of translating and working with
languages.
In high school, I discovered my passion for languages and decided to pursue my academic career in
German studies. In 2009 I graduated from xxx with a Bachelor's
degree and started to work for xxx, a leading business magazine, as an editor. To gain a
better understanding of the skill of translation, I came to xxx four years ago to pursue a
Master's Degree in translation.
For the last five years, I have been working for xxx as a freelance translator and project
assistant. My main work consists of translating various legal and technical documents from
xxx into xxx and vice versa. I have also worked for different organizations and private
persons as a translator/interpreter. I approach my work in a professional manner. I have excellent
communication skills and can adapt to different situations. I have a keen eye for detail and have been
praised regularly for my accurate work.
Thank you for taking the time to look over my application. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
