Hi, there, dear friend, colleague and potential customer.

I am a translator who lost his job to Covid. Now I am looking at the ways how to become autonomous. I would like to make proz.com as my major source of income. For this reason I am looking for predictable, long lasting, transparent and mutually reciprocal business relationships.

My major specializations are international relations and petroleum. I worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakstan and Karachaganak LLP, my latest place of office. Thus, my working languages are Kazakh, Russian and English.

Also, I learnt French at the university and learnt Turkish by myself. I find pure pleasure in reading and communicating in these languages. Unfortunately, I have not had an opportunity to use them at work.

That said, I am an omnivorous and eclectic reader and have been reading all my life. I am an aspiring author of a novel in English. Currently I am in the process of searching for literary agents. Basically, that is it. I am more of a writer, than a speaker. So, I prefer to work with texts.

I would be glad to answer all your questions.

Best regards,

Askar
