Intern success stories
Clementine Chevreuil, Lead Translator, RWS Paris, France
"My internship at RWS was a perfect transition from the university to the translation industry.”
I joined RWS as an intern in June 2020 as part of my Master’s program. Due to the pandemic, my onboarding in the company was entirely remote...
Kerem Kalfa, Associate Translator, RWS Istanbul, Turkey
“I am forever grateful for the chance and my teammates that I have been blessed with”
I've always wanted to learn stuff, and I can say that I'm a curious person. I love to read and research. But I was a little confused when I started the university. I had three options in mind: being a translator, being a chef, or being a lawyer (although I have to say that being a lawyer was just a whim because of the series I watched, Suits)...
Ellie Siriwardena, Senior Translator, RWS Sheffield, UK
“I gained a real insight into the translation industry as a whole, acquiring a multitude of skills”
My journey with RWS started in 2019, when a translator from the company gave a presentation on the RWS internship programme at Durham University, where I was studying for my MA in Translation Studies at the time. I'd developed a real passion for French and Spanish translation during my university studies and was incredibly keen to gain some hands-on experience with an industry leader like RWS, so when I heard there was the possibility of a six-month internship, I jumped at the opportunity. When I found out I'd been accepted onto the programme and would be joining the Automotive Team, I was ecstatic, particularly as I'd fallen in love with Sheffield itself and my soon-to-be colleagues during my visit to the office for my interview.
Martin Bai, Lead Translator, RWS Dalian, China
“I have continued to develop the skills to communicate with different people and understand the importance of teamwork.”
During the internship period, my manager and colleagues have provided a good opportunity to learn from each other, especially when encountering difficult sentences or uncertain knowledge, we can discuss translation with each other...
Kirsty Austwick, Project Manager, RWS Sheffield, UK
“I’ve learnt a lot throughout my journey at RWS and in particular, that communication is key.”
I started at RWS back in September 2018 on a year-long Internship or ‘Sandwich Placement’ from Sheffield Hallam University. After finishing my 2nd year of my undergraduate degree in Human Geography, I knew that I wanted to complete a work placement before starting my final year but had no idea about the job role or industry that I wanted to work in longer-term. I saw an advertisement for the Project Management role on the university website and thought this would be an interesting opportunity to combine my interests in human geography and global business!
