SUMMARY OF WORK EXPERIENCE
· FREE LANCE TRANSLATOR
OTTAWA,
ONTARIO - July 1993 to Present.
Ian has acquired broad experience in
language communications throughout Europe, across Latin America, Africa, the
United States, Canada, the Pacific Rim and the Middle East. He has learned that
speaking French in Paris or Montreal is as important as speaking Spanish in
Latin America and English in North America. By being able to communicate in the
language of the host country, one greatly enhances one’s capabilities, thus
leading to the establishment of clear and concise communications that are so
important in international business. This constant exchange has taught Ian that
languages not only provide for strong communication links, but also, perhaps
more importantly, to the assimilation of cultures and the establishment of
lasting and mutually beneficial relationships, acquired through a better
understanding of one another.
Languages.
The following are the language combinations
in which Ian provides services:
French – English; Spanish –
English; English – Spanish; French - Spanish
Professional
Services.
