Regarding known/unknown fields and topics I said that as an experienced linguist I have worked on translation of several content, my favorite topics to work with were investigation of crimes, court records, autopsy results, insurance. As an experienced foreign languages teacher I have been correcting written tests and assignments of my students. Instead of proofreading badly translated documents several companies were asking me to translate them. I used to work in Google loft as an audio files transcriber (Georgian language). I had more than 2 years experience of working in Microsoft Teams. Since I had Red Diploma in Russian and Georgian languages and 3 Certificates in Turkish language I agreed on offer to work with Russian and Turkish languages. In written online form I submitted that I could work for 5 or 6 hours a day for Captain Words but due to permanently changed timetable on Teams Microsoft I could work for 2 or 3 hours a day in working days for them and for 5 hours or a bit more on weekends.
