N.B. with all due respect to recruitment policies of different agencies I do not do free of charge test translations. I can do a small translation for a basic price but it is a policy of mine not to do free of charge sample translations. No other professional (e. g. lawyers, engineers, medical doctors) would be requested to do a free of charge sample work so that the potential customers/clients can decide whether they like him/her or not. The same regards professional freelance translators.
