» We provide proper briefs.
» We provide plenty of feedback and support.
» We positively encourage questions!
» We can provide advice on a wide range of issues.
» We actively enjoy what we do, and we show it.

to join

If you'd like to be considered as a potential colleague, please send samples of work you're particularly proud of to recruitment [at] wordgym.com. Translators, please don't forget to include the original source documents (after removing any confidential references, of course).

Send us your CV, too - but we don't want a boring one (we're not a recruitment consultancy). We'd prefer a little brochure telling us what a funky, creative person you are!
