Here is what I’ve been working with, for the last one and a half years. But now the project is finished, so I have to find new work.

Dear Erik

Thank you for your

application. I believe you have the right qualifications to collaborate

successfully on our project. Therefore, I would like to offer you some work, as

a freelancer (which means we are your “customer”, not

“employer”), working from home. We would pay according to the

amount of work done, so you would have flexibility to work the number of hours

you wish. By the way, in order to do the work you would need access to a

computer and telephone.

Our publication

“Packaging Europe” is collecting information in order to create a

directory of the European packaging industry. We need Norwegian / Swedish /

Danish speakers to assist us in contacting Norwegian / Swedish / Danish

packaging firms to verify the data we have and find out about their products

and services. This would involve using the telephone and internet quite a lot.

You could potentially begin work immediately.

Our project will last

about 4 months. However, our company is growing and we have excellent

opportunities for talented people with languages, so if we are impressed with

your work, there is a good chance our relationship will continue.

I include a brief

description of the task below. If you are interested in the work or would like

any further information, please let me know.

Processing company

information

We have already obtained lists of companies, but we need to check

the information we have and to find out more details about companies’

services and products.

We require fluent speakers who are confident using the telephone

and would be able to find out technical information for us. (Our staff finds

that checking company websites is also useful.)

Accessing our database through the internet, you would check / update

the basic information about the company that we already have, and also collect

extra data about the companies’ products and services. The technical

vocabulary will be provided in translation.

Our payment for this task is:

UK

£1.10 — for each company where basic information and contact information is

complete and accurate.

UK

£0.40 — for each company where basic information only is checked.

UK

£0.25 — for each company that

needs to be deleted – because you learn that it has nothing to do with

packaging (as these conversations take much less time!).

We also pay the cost of

telephone calls.

Please let me know if

you are interested and I will send you further instructions on our database www.packagingeuropedirectory.com.
