Hi, I'm currently on a job hunt, and I've decided to try to improve my chances of finding something by posting a query to this list. So let me toot my horn a little bit, if you please.
I am a native (U.S.) English writer/editor/translator (French, German, Russian to English) based in Berlin, and I am interested in offers of full-time, part-time or freelance/remote work virtually anywhere in Europe. I am primarily interested in employment in EU countries, but will consider non-EU European countries and even returning to Russia if the offer includes a hassle-free visa and registration situation. My multilingual background would be an asset to internationally-orientated organizations. I was born in Russia but was raised in the U.S. from the age of four and I am a U.S. citizen. In addition to native English, I retained Russian through private study, and having lived in Russia for ten years, I am of native level in Russian. I am also fluent in French. My German is of an upper intermediate level, and has been improving by leaps and bounds since I moved from Moscow to Berlin in July 26, 2008. I also have considerable writing and editing experience with media in the U.S., U.K. and Russia and have more than three years of editing experience in a business-orientated news agency. At present, I am working full-time in Berlin for the public relations firm Hill & Knowlton Communications GmbH (www.hillandknowlton.de) as an Account Manager on the Nord Stream project (www.nord-stream.com). I edit the project's English-language publications and translate texts from German to English. My current contract expires on July 31, 2009 and will not be renewed because of budget cuts. Hill & Knowlton can only offer me freelance work after July 31, so it would be best if I found a new full-time situation. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to getting some leads. Best, Kirill Galetski.
