It is my great pleasure to write this letter of reference for Ms Christy Joyce of East Perth Chinese Translation Service.  Christy has worked for our company at various times over the past 5 years.  During this time we have found her ability and her service to be second to none. 

Christy is a very competent interpreter.  She is fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese and English and has worked extensively with simultaneous interpreting as well as consecutive interpreting.  In our circumstances she has worked with anything from one-to-one interpreting to managing groups of over 30.  She is adaptable and is very conscientious about her work, taking pride in providing quality service.

Most of the work Christy has done with us required a capacity to interpret educational jargon effectively.  This is a challenge that Christy has consistently met, often without much opportunity for preparation being available to her.

One of the characteristics about Christy’s work that marks her apart from other interpreters we have used is the quality of the interpersonal relationships she develops with our clients.  She has a good understanding of protocols and appreciates the types of formal behaviours that different situations require.  However, she is also capable of being very relaxed with our clients and adept at making them feel comfortable in different environments.  She is sensitive to the needs of individuals and always looking for ways to do her job well.

It is no surprise, then, that I recommend Christy Joyce to prospective employers without reservation.  When we first met Christy she lived in Queensland, where most of our work is done.  However, since then she has moved to Perth.  We think so highly of her that we bring her from the west coast back to the east coast when we need to have an interpreter of quality.

 

Yours sincerely
