Working here gave me many things

 Dear those who are reading this. I am Radanat Wechmongkolgorn. My nickname is Aum. I am currently 3rd year student at Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University. I have got to know LT TextNova by looking for some place to do internship with. At that time, I did not take much interest in it since there were not many channels I could access in order to get to know more about this company. However, my first impression here when I first came to take a test, making me a little bit more look forward to work here; it was really quiet, making me assume that there must have been lots of work to do. It made me hope that I as well would be assigned to do a proper task, not just do a photocopy or something like that.

Working here gave me many things. Firstly, it gave me chances to learn how a translation company works. It was nothing like what I had expected it to be. It was almost totally different from the way I had studied in classes; when studying in classes, I could use my creativity as much as I wanted, as long as they are correctly translated, while here, if it is the work already done before, I had to stick to the style and be cautious about keeping it consistent. At first, honestly speaking, I was kind of unable to agree with how things done here as I thought that it made me use less creativity. But now, once I got used to it, I kind of find it hard to translate without using this TM system in convenient translation program like Trados.

Working here, furthermore, gives me chances to meet many coworkers who taught me with kindness and gave me lots of work to do. Although during work, we did not talk much, making it seem quiet here, once it was lunch time, we talked a lot, like compensating the time we could not open the mouths to talk, especially me and my new friends who doing internship here as well, who now have become my dearest friends to me.

last but not least, In short, if you are finding a place to start your work experience with joyfulness everyday along with proper work to do in order to refine your English and Thai language skills in writing and reading, be assured, because you have come to the right place.

Lastly, let me give you a warning: do not overestimate yourself, blindly believing that you are the type hard to gain weight, just like me, because, even now, it is still a myth to how I could come this far in just almost three months of internship.

The reason why I chose to do my internship with LT TextNova is because I wanted to improve my translation skill
