I was "assigned/entrusted/commissioned" personally to provide the full package simultaneous conference interpreting service including rental of equipment and hiring of interpreters and sound engineers.

Which word fits better "assigned" or "entrusted" or "commissioned" in this context?
 
What context? Your CV? A job application? Your autobiography?

None of the three above . It is just a piece of news sent to my friends on social media.

Wow! That's very formal for a social media post. Here's how it would look if that were my social media profile:

Woo hoo - got a job! Going to be providing interpreting, equipment hire, staffing and who knows what else for a [type of event]! Can't wait!

Obviously, I've gone to the other end of the extreme and made it very casual but I think you need something between the two.
 
I see you posted the same thread on EnglishForums.

We recommend posting a question on one forum only initially. If you do not get a satisfactory answer from that forum and you feel that you have exhausted its possibilities, then of course trying a different forum might help. It is only courteous however, to tell the second forum that you have already asked the question on another forum and then give a precis of the answers you received there, or provide a link to it, along with an explanation of why you are now looking elsewhere.

"It is only courteous". I see there is an implied insult here.

Calling it an insult feels a little dramatic, but yes, it is uncourteous to waste the time of volunteers who want to use their time efficiently by helping people who need it the most. I think everyone here understands that wasting people's time is not your intention, but nevertheless we might feel that way. Often, the people providing answers will want to know if you've already received a similar answer somewhere else so they can focus more specifically on what might still be unclear for you.
