RESUME FOR KIM JASPER
I am an experienced translator covering a broad range of topics.
My working methods are very structured and my focus on quality in all its aspects is intense.

High quality in the translation phase is of great value. My regular customers tell me that to them, my quality work means:

• Greatly satisfied end clients (their customers)
• Reduced total project costs (their costs) due to less cost and time spent on proofreading, reviewing, editing and QA

Delivering high quality work is also very rewarding and I would be more than happy assisting you in providing more value to your clients and bringing your own efforts and costs down at the same time.

I do not miss deadlines.

ABOUT MYSELF

Graduated in 1982 from Aarhus Universitet, Aarhus, Denmark with a M.A. in Musical Science (major) and Nordic Language and Literature (minor)

Constant employment in the IT industry from 1982 to 2007 with a range of jobs from covering engineering, sales, marketing, management and senior management. My last assignment in the IT industry was being the European brand marketing manager for a very large global software brand.

I began building my translation business in 2005 on a part time basis. During 2007 it became evident to me how much I enjoy this kind of activity so in June 2007 I left my otherwise wonderful job in order to turn translation into my main work activity on my own will and initiative to attend to my business full time.
