Since a couple of months ago, I got the same Simultaneous Interpreting Job offer that came from at least 5 different agencies. I got call from India (1 Agency), Jakarta (2 Agencies) and Bali (2 Agencies). They are looking for Japanese English Simultaneous Interpreter which is quite a rare commodity here in Indonesia, I think that is one of the reason that I always appear on the top of their list. So this is really interesting because no matter who won the pitching process with the client, it is almost certain that I would be their interpreter anyway.

Several things that made me excited with this job are:

• The end-user is a Cyber Security company from Finland. And during my college years, I have been a huge fans of cyber security and hacking world.
• My major in college was Computer Science, so my background is quite strong and fit me really well with the client.
• The Presentation from the Finnish speaker was awesome, it filled me up with the latest updates from the Cyber Security world.
• The venue was in Bali, so I got the chance (although just for a brief time) to enjoy another sunset and sunrise by the beach.

I am really glad the that I was chosen for this event and I was quite satisfied with my performance too as a Simultaneous Interpreter that deals with Japanese-English language pair.
