 Hello everyone so for today's video, I just wanted to show you something quickly once again This is just a screenshot because I wanted to find some pitch letters that I had used in the past by pitch letters I mean letters pitching perspective clients basically people who can hire you any time I will go to pros.com and Or translators cafe or one of those websites and I would apply to a job Then I would have certain templates that I would use pros.com actually saves the templates for you But other places don't and so I used to keep a couple templates just for myself And I just kept them like this basically on a post-it note or on a text Document on my desktop right here And so I just wanted to walk you through the first ones and show you how easy it can be mainly because most of you Have something you have like a letter that you've used before as you can see here. It says hello I'm an Italian English translator be happy to assist with your translation needs blah blah blah blah blah Now obviously this can be then personalized as much as you want like I could you know with your Translation of a financial document or something like that. I can I can type something else, you know with your I don't know Website translation or whatever it might be but this is the template that I had and the reason I wanted to show you It's because I've had different templates and this was for my legal translations And the one below was for my financial translation I also had another one for my marketing translations, but for some reason I can't find it now But so what I would do is every time I was applying to these jobs like if I found you know Something like that and I would click on it and apply to it then I would if it if it didn't have the template already built in I would just copy and paste this and I basically had this for my legal translations where I said I have had extensive legal translation experience from court documents To contracts to legal correspondence, you know, and that's it like it was very simple And then I have the whole recipe, you know everything else and at the beginning the only difference I made for my financial Translations was I've had extensive financial translation experience from financial statements to invoices to economics journal articles and much more So it literally was just this line as you can see everything else is 100% the same and Over time then obviously I would do more changes and I would try to you know personalize it a bit more But at the beginning this is what I used and I got jobs with both of these templates It's not that hard I say this because I see a lot of people use generic templates Even when they're applying for jobs like you know when I put out jobs and people apply for them I see generic templates that they were obviously meant for another job and you know It's understandable that you have generic templates But you kind of need to personalize them at least a little bit And I just want to show you that even personalizing one line one sentence is enough because here it shows Oh legal translation experience. Okay, good, but if I'm applying for something That requires financial translation experience or you know some financial translation Then I have that with a couple examples here and that's it when you're first starting out That's all you need so in fact right now if you have a template a generic template you use I want you to copy and paste it and then just tweak something little if you do I don't know translations in gaming then you know tweak something add a sentence about gaming or if you have something for gaming But you also do I don't know websites then tweak, you know just a little part So it's good for websites and that way you can have several different templates you can easily use and You can apply to many different jobs because you should be applying to multiple jobs per day and you can't obviously rewrite your your letter for each for each job, but it's very easy just to say, okay I'll use this template. I use this template Maybe I'll tweak something here where it says I'll assist you with you or something or other But otherwise that's it. You can very easily just copy and paste it and not even think about it And I just found this very easy. So I just wanted to share this method.
