When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
Presenter
Presenting the company at trade fairs and through written reports.
I don't think it matters that you're starting with an activity for "exposant", in fact I'd make them all activities in English
exhibitor

***Exposant*** dans le cadre de foire des entreprises
Foire des entreprises is a trade fair, so this refers to an Exhibitor at a trade fair. (redaction de rapports in the same phrase is a bit strange though)
Can you elaborate? I don't understand this use of exhibitor. Thanks for your patience :) |
Yes, grouping them is a bit odd... I appreciate the explanation, this makes much more sense! |

: I think you could say her employer was an exhibitor, but that wouldn't be her job title. //You seem to be agreeing with me!

That's as maybe but that is not how it is written here, the person is describing his/her self

: not OK on its own as it doesn't convey much; maybe "trade fair representative"

: This sounds like someone who's hired to stand around and look pretty, which is clearly not the case here.

If as per context it's about PROMOTE, then she is - she does not only stand and look pretty, but also markets the company or whatsoever. The choice of exposant is wrong. she is hôtesse or animatrice commerciale.
