Job description

Greetings,

TravelingBrand, a division of Choice Translating Inc., a language services company based in the USA. We provide linguistic survey reports for ongoing branding projects. This posting is for a remote contract opportunity for a linguist survey contributor.

We are currently in the process of expanding our pool of Yiddish individual freelance linguists, and we are reaching out to invite those who would like to receive our surveys.

Here's a bit more about our projects: We evaluate potential brand names for various linguistic attributes, which vary by survey type, such as verbal similarities, ease of pronunciation, evocations, brand associations, and negative connotations. The surveys are in different formats based on clients' needs.

We require the candidate to be native to the Yiddish language; they should be familiar with its culture, slang, and colloquial words, as well as acquainted with well-known businesses and brands in their respective country. The ideal candidate would also be passionate about graphic design with knowledge of the meanings of symbols and colors in their culture. This awareness might impact the potential brand names and/or their accompanying logos, which may also be evaluated.

If you are interested in receiving further details and moving to the next step, then please submit your CV/resume in English, and feel free to elaborate on your language or translation experience. After reviewing your resume, we will reach out regarding the next steps and with further information.

Looking forward to hearing from you very soon.

Thank you,
