No Aug 2

No, not any more, as I’m past retirement age. Otherwise, I would definitely consider it. I worked for 20 years as staff translator at an EU institution. Loved it and learn a lot!

Definitely, depending on the role Aug 2

If I had been offered a role in an international organisation when I was young enough to do it justice, I would have been delighted.

Back in my younger days I would have definitely accepted the role, provided it was something interesting or even unique. But nowadays, that the wild life is over, I prefer my usual comfortable environment.

I'm not young any more but I would still cherish a new experience. It's not forever anyway even though it would be an upheaval.

Yes, definitely. Aug 4

I've always been interested in language-related roles within international organisations.
Regardless of my age, I would gladly embrace such an opportunity.
Given my interest in legal translation and criminal investigations, I would be especially interested in a role supporting international law enforcement or police cooperation.
