How to get a translator job!

How to Become a Professional Translator and Interpreter

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Achieving a successful career in the field of translation and interpreting is not easy and it requires education, skills, hard work and determination.

Steps

  1. Make sure you have the right education and qualifications. Get a degree in translation studies or intercultural communication and all the qualifications and training necessary.
  2. Gain experience. This involves interning with an office or an organization or simply freelancing. For tips, see How to succeed as a freelance translator.
  3. Choose an area of activity. Different careers require different things. If you do not want to freelance, you will need to get signed with an agency, a translation office, publishing house, a large business or an organization, such as the UN or EU.
  4. Get people to know you. You need people to know your name in connection with the business you work in. Begin with your friends and family, tell them you are in the business and have them recommend you to other people. Also, get some advertisement if you can afford it.
  5. Be quick and effective. To succeed, you need to work fast, yet provide high quality services.
  6. Be professional. Always be professional to your clients and co-workers. You do not want to gain a bad reputation. Never accept jobs you are not qualified for or accept too many jobs at the same time and always keep your deadlines.
  7. Work hard. Just like in any other business, you have to work really hard to succeed. To become really successful, you might (and probably will) have to work nights, weekends and holidays.
