Working for a Localization Company!

A couple of my classmates and I were hired by SDL International, a week after we graduated from the Localization Course at the UW.
It is my fourth week, and every day at work, I feel the benefit of taking the course. Being familiar with the best practices, with the tools and processes followed in the industry as well as understanding the vital importance of Localization in today's economy; all this has helped ease us into our new posts as project coordinators.
I have no doubt that if i have not taken the class, this opportunity would not have presented itself!
SDL is very excited about us, being the first Localization students they have ever hired!
It is a thrill to comprehend the jargon, to see the big picture as well as the details entailed in localizing a product. It is exciting to be part of how a product reaches different target markets around the globe!

  1. Khadija, how many of your classmates were hired by SDL? And is it true you've run across rattlesnakes in the parking lot where you work?
