My job

I work for a company which activities are closely connected with the steel & iron industry. I used to do different marketing things like translating, finding clients abroad, interpreting and accompanying my director during his business trips. It is awful how the crisis affected this industry in Ukraine. Moreover, selling steel abroad forms a lion share of the country’s budget. So the industry began to collapse rather quickly. A lot of people have lost their jobs or were asked to take so called unpaid vacation, just like me. It was a hard thing to face such situation: I just began to recover from my disease, my wife was pregnant and here came a job loss threat. Not a pleasant thing!

But I was lucky to find another job almost at once. Now I am working as a web site translator for a company which makes web sites and rental software. I like working there as they have created an unusual atmosphere of freedom. The good thing about them is that they do еще practice working time limits. I work five and a half hour in the office and then I can work at home if I want. I come to the office at 11 a.m. and this was my life-time dream not to get up early in the morning to go to work.

So using my computer and language skills I managed to translate the www.w3rent.com site into five languages and make someу corrections in the original English version. Of course the translations are far from being perfect as I am not a native speaker, that’s why I am asking you. guys, reading this blog to visit the site and check whether it would be possible to improve my translations.

I believe I will work for a long time with these guys since they have other sites to be translated such as: http://www.quart-soft.com , http://www.w3logodesign.com. There are others in the stage of being created: www.w3graphicdesign.com, http://www.w3websitedesign.com, http://www.w3websitedevelopment.com, http://www.w3illustration.com.

I do believe my job here will be efficient and I can help this company to develop and earn bigger profit. I am learning PHP to be more helpful and to get involved in the web development process. This is new thing for me to learn, however I am making progress day by day and it seems to me that I could create some basic registration forms with MySQL connection. I am sure web design this is a very promising business in our country. By the way,I would appreciate any tips and advise regarding better ways of mustering PHP.
