To Whom It May Concern,
I am pleased to provide this recommendation for Ms. Branka Scherrer, who supported me as a translator during my interactions with the Regional Employment Center (RAV) in Luzern, Switzerland from September 2024 to date.
Branka assisted me by translating live conversations between German and English during my appointments with RAV agents. Her language skills were exceptional, ensuring clear and accurate communication throughout our sessions. She demonstrated a thorough understanding of the nuances of both languages, as well as the ability to convey information with precision and sensitivity.
Her professionalism was evident from our very first interaction. Branka was consistently punctual, reliable, and well-prepared for each meeting. She quickly adapted to the dynamic nature of live translations, enabling smooth communication in potentially high-stakes and sensitive discussions.
Moreover, Branka displayed strong interpersonal skills, showing empathy and patience in navigating complex topics. She handled confidential information with the utmost care, respecting my privacy and adhering to professional standards. Her cultural awareness and understanding of Swiss-specific processes, particularly related to the RAV, added significant value to her services.
I highly recommend Branka Scherrer to anyone seeking a skilled and dependable translator, whether for professional or personal purposes. Her expertise and dedication are truly commendable, and I am confident she will excel in any future engagements.
Should you require further information or a more detailed reference, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
