Time to Step Up

The summer season was a time of opportunities for Iris as a career woman.

As a translator and interpreter, she started accepting small assignments from both Jin Corporation and Long Industries. She translated some documents for them. There was only one instance when she acted as interpreter after the international business conference, and that was when she accompanied Grandpa Lu for a meeting with some Russian investors.

She didn't really have that much time to spare to accept more translator/interpreter jobs, even though there were many companies, both local and foreign, that expressed their interest in hiring her. Nevertheless, her two professors encouraged her to apply her skills regularly in an actual work environment for her to gain more experience. It would help in polishing her language skills.
