Hello, I'm very interested in this opportunity, but I'm already busy, so I'm not sure if I can spend a lot of time when I could get this job. So let's say I'm busy this week, and you ask me for translation, then can I say no? Or is this something that I have to do consistently? Thank you.

Hi Juglinjugglo,

knowledge of the poker-related vocabulary would be advantageous (as translations include poker terms) but we don't require a specific poker background or poker skills for this role.

Hi, Marta. Thank you for your time.
Currently I'm in Macau, and I do not have an access to my computer till Dec 4. Do you think that's too late?
Thank you

Hi youthebest! Ideally, the right person would start working for us sooner than later. The position is still open, please send us your CV whenever you are able to and, if the role is still available, we will get back to you.

Heave112, the workload may differ. We are looking for someone who is flexible to be able to meet our deadlines so availability would be a big plus. The compensation would be based on the type of activities we would agree on. Translations are paid per word, in case of creating articles - it's either per word or per piece, depending on the agreement.

Juglinjugglo, hope the above clarifies. As far as the salary is concerned, we will discuss it with the candidates who pass the recruitment process successfully.
