Source text - German Allgemeine Beschreibung
Maßnahmen zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit stehen in vielen
Einrichtungen oben auf der Prioritätenliste.
Firmenname trägt dieser Anforderung Rechnung und bietet als Ergänzung der Rufanlage verschiedene Komponenten zur Sturzpropylaxe und für die mobile Rufauslösung an.
Allen Komponenten gemeinsam ist, dass sowohl für die Rufeskalation als auch für die Protokollierung die gesicherten Übertragungswege der Rufanlage genutzt werden. Auch die Spannungsversorgung der drahtge- bundenen Koomponenten und der Empfänger erfolgt durch die Rufanlage, so dass gefährliche Störungen durch defekte oder vom Stromnetz getrennte Netzteile entfallen. Die batteriebetriebenen Komponenten sind selbstüberwacht und signalisieren rechtzeitig kritische Batteriezustände.
Die Komponenten sind sowohl als Einzelgeräte als auch im Set lieferbar, wobei die in dieser Broschüre aufgeführten Funkkomponenten mit einander kompati- bel sind sowie zu den bisherigen Funkempfängern Typ
12345 AB passen.
Translation - English General Description
Taking steps to enhance safety is the top priority at many care facilities.
Company Name has taken this into account and offers a range of different solutions for fall-prevention and call-triggering components to complete your call system.
All components utilize the call system's secure transmission paths for call-escalation as well as for logging. Power for the wired components and receivers is supplied through the call system, avoiding dangerous faults caused by defective or disconnected power supply units. The battery-powered components are self-monitoring and indicate critical battery conditions in a timely manner.
These components are available as single devices or in a set. The wireless components listed in this brochure are compatible with one another and also backwards compatible with the earlier 12345 AB-type wireless receivers.

- Quelques mois plus tard, je l'ai invité lors d'un événement d'Impérial Tobacco.

4. We have all had disagreements with others. Describe one specific situation, telling what led up to it, how you handled it, and the outcome.
At the start of 2011, I had some differences with a customer. To tell the truth, there was a complaint because I had only been working with this region for one and a half months. I spoke about it with my supervisor, who gave me advice about what he has done in similar situations.
I then sat down with the owner in question and asked him what he expected of my as a representative of Imperial Tobacco. He gave me some general ideas and directions and I told him I’d do everything I could to provide quality service.
Some months later I invited him to an event at Imperial Tobacco.
It was then that he spoke to my superior and said that I was the best representative he’d ever worked with and he wanted me to keep his account absolutely.

8. Describe one of your major projects. Outline your approach, the outcome, and what you would have done differently to improve the results.
Project: Increasing sales of my largest customer. The result: 40% in 12 months.
Strategy: constructing a good relationship of trust with a high, deep, and wide approach. I made several visits to different construction sites to obtain feedback from product users. Then I was doing my work in their office, explaining the processes and giving them feedback from the “field”. I could have improved my office’s approach and started with that to win the buy-in more quickly from the customer.
I've been working as a freelance translator for twelve years. I pride myself on accurate and timely work that suits the customer's needs.
My undergraduate coursework at Kent included French and German literature, linguistics, history, culture, and writing-intensive literary criticism. I also obtained an Honors Diploma from the Kent State University Honors College. My undergraduate research focused mainly on the role of translation in publishing of Holocaust survivor literature and poetry, such as the works of Paul Celan, Rose Ausländer, and Alfred Margul-Sperber. During my time at Kent State University I had the opportunity to spend some time in Romania and Moldova during the vacation terms, where I learned to speak Romanian and conversational Russian.
I’ve also been teaching high school German for over a decade in a suburban school near Cleveland, Ohio. My graduate degree in Liberal Studies at Kent State University focused on French and German translation, with a focus on literature and history.
