Maxim Schelstraete

I'm a very driven person who is passionate about translating and communications.

I'm an experienced translator and communications officer. 

During my time at HR Talents, I was responsible for the company's communication on various channels (such as website, mails, LinkedIn …) in multiple languages: Dutch, French and English. Being the only communications officer at this company, I learned to manage a considerable workload. 

In my current job, I'm responsible for translating market research documents to Dutch, French and English. This job is challenging because I translate from Dutch to French (which is uncommon for a translator, since translators always translate to their mother tongue, in my case Dutch). At the same time, this job allows me to learn a lot: the documents I translate contain interesting market research results in various domains (banking, insurance, healthcare …) which gives me a lot of practical insight.

I have three degrees: linguistics/literature, multilingual business communications and a teacher's degree.
