Dear Hiring Manager,
I am excited to apply for the Korean into English Copywriter position at Welocalize. With over 5 years of experience in translation and copywriting, I specialize in creating culturally resonant English titles from Korean content. My native English proficiency and deep understanding of Korean allow me to balance authenticity with natural expression. I am adept at collaborating with cross-functional teams and delivering high-quality work under tight deadlines. I look forward to contributing to your global projects.

Sample interview questions
I start by fully understanding the original Korean context, including cultural nuances and audience expectations. Then I brainstorm multiple options that capture the core meaning while sounding natural in English, often testing them with native speakers to ensure resonance.
I have worked on campaigns for tech and entertainment brands, adapting tone and messaging to suit different markets. For example, I localized app store descriptions and ad copy to increase engagement among English-speaking users while retaining brand identity.
I view feedback as a collaborative opportunity to refine the output. I review comments carefully, ask clarifying questions if needed, and implement revisions promptly while ensuring the original intent and quality are preserved.
I use CAT tools like SDL Trados and memoQ for consistency, along with style guides and glossaries. For copywriting, I leverage project management platforms and collaboration tools such as Trello and Google Docs to track progress and receive feedback.
I am attracted by Welocalize's global reach and commitment to quality in localization. This role allows me to combine my language skills and marketing expertise on high-visibility projects, and I am eager to contribute to creating content that bridges Korean and English audiences.
This is an on-going freelance and remote position.
