Background

About Vera Gomes

I have already been through two trainings in different companies. The first one was through the course I attended in Leiria, in a small company directed to machinery equipment trade. I have had many tasks, among them, issuing and archiving documents; checking of products sales, purchases and profitability margins; managing data base on programs such as Mailist Controler and Winfax; translation of products’ technical data and several documents; banking deposits and answering telephone calls. This training alerted me for the possibility of having a strict employer. The person who was orientating me was overloaded with work and worries, so I had to develop a sense of what were my daily tasks and how would I accomplish them, many times without any support. My second training was as an assistant at the Marketing and Imagery Department. My tasks included the compilation of a guest list for the company’s 50th birthday; sending invitations and receiving their confirmations; archiving documents; translation of the company’s website from Portuguese to English and French and also civil construction texts. This second training is making me acquainted with diplomacy. The company is making invitations for its 50th birthday party and we have to receive many calls and emails with confirmations, meaning we have to know how to address myself to many important people and to be the image of the company. Specialties: Translation in areas such as: literature, legal, architecture, environment, children's literature, civil engeneering, history, art, among others.
