Thank God for people like Marta! I had followed her guidelines to write my curriculum, so I contacted her for reviewing it. She was very helpful at providing me with tips and orienting me on how to tailor my CV according to my target prospects. I highly recommend her since she's an absolute expert on the marketing subject.

Not only did Marta take the time to review my CV in a very generous way, but also she did a great analysis of it. She a warm, easy-going woman who likes to help others improve their marketing skills. She made use of her strong experience and knowledge to point out specific details which needed to be polished in my documents. I am very thankful for her generosity and kindness, she's certainly a translator with one of the best marketing strategies I've known.

As a freelance translator I must say Marta's advice was extremely helpful. Last October 2012 I was overhauling my CV to target translation agencies and I strongly believe Marta's review helped me to come up with a professional, marketable sales pitch!
