[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”justified”]I quickly realized that transcribing spoken word was my thing. At previous jobs, I had already been eager to take over dictation tasks. It was a particular pleasure for me to argue with my bosses about \u201ccorrect spelling\u201d. I almost always \u201cwon\u201d. And during those discussions, I grew more and more confident, despite the fact that I was discussing with superiors. Just because you\u2019re the boss doesn\u2019t automatically mean that you\u2019re always right.<\/p>\n
Now texts became more and more interesting to me. I had the chance to listen to texts from a variety of different areas and I fervently followed the words and opinions from the different fields.<\/p>\n
For one year, I did that next to my main job. Special thanks go out to my ex-husband whom I worked for at the time, for tolerating me pursuing my new passion during regular working hours.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/schreibkommunikation.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/bernoth-schreibservice_favicon.svg” title_text=”bernoth-schreibservice_favicon” module_class=”sticky-story” _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”50px”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||5rem||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/schreibkommunikation.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/bernoth-schreibservice_favicon-reverse.svg” title_text=”bernoth-schreibservice_favicon-reverse” align=”right” module_class=”sticky-story” _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”50px”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”justified”]More than once I felt disturbed when the phone rang, or he had a business-related question. It was much more important to me to complete my own projects. NO other employer would have tolerated that.<\/p>\n
Inevitably, I got the urge to generate my own clients and so I put more and more time and effort into getting my service out there.

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”justified”]I had a vision that wanted to be put into practice.

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”justified”]Today I have a workforce of around 80 nimble hands. Granted, it\u2019s not an open-plan office, but that\u2019s not necessary. <\/p>\n
After countless emails, I managed to win over my first client. That was in 2001, and the numbers of regular clients was consistently increasing.<\/p>\n
In 2011, I received an enquiry from one of my clients asking if we (by now I had a freelance employee) could also do direct translations. That became my next challenge. Incidentally, I had a skilled employee who was very excited about this new task.

I always learn new things and opinions from people whom I would have never met and whose impressions and views I would have never experienced had it not been for this \u201cjob\u201d. I\u2019m reluctant to call it a \u201cjob\u201d even. I am grateful for having been able to do what I\u2019m most passionate about for 21 years now. And one shouldn\u2019t forget that it\u2019s not just a desk job anymore. Nowadays, my main task is to be a problem-solver.<\/p>\n
I know that \u2013 and that makes me proud \u2013there are many people who turn to me when they don\u2019t see any other solution. I can often tell that people have this \u201cShe will fix it. She can do it\u201d feeling when they come to me. Of course I often thought to myself: \u201cWhy am I not their first choice?\u201d That way, it wouldn\u2019t have become that urgent and we could have saved our clients a lot of stress.\u00a0<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”justified”]But with such \u201elast-minute projects \u201c, I could usually build a regular cooperation because my clients learned that they could trust me from the start and wouldn\u2019t have to worry about their projects anymore. They placed the order and received their product.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m proud of the fact that there were only very few times in all those years in which we couldn\u2019t meet the deadline, and even that always happened within a certain tolerance limit so that these delays didn\u2019t have major consequences for the clients.<\/p>\n
That is the most important thing about a cooperation, that our clients know with absolute certainty that their job is in good hands. [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
