Career move: is it worth being a translator?
Presentation in:
Many translators start later in life, as second career, oftentimes born from disappointment with their chosen profession or the need to earn a living while unemployed. This move usually brings into the market high calibre professionals who have a lot to contribute to the translation market enriching the profession with their experience and knowledge. Given its dynamics and the high level of expectation and requirements in terms of marketing, technology and entrepreneurship, the current translation market is the ideal place for such professionals.
This presentation is based on the speaker’s own professional move in 1990 – as many translators, starting a second profession working for her former employers.
