It's like those translation agencies which publish job offers in translation portals offering $0.03 per source word and asking for top-quality, top-speed, experienced pros. They get exactly what they deserve, i.e. the profile that you have described in your post.Jaume de Marcos Andreuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335914984366835391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518334.post-80757464368156048872011-08-08T17:25:15.997-06:002011-08-08T17:25:15.997-06:00Well, unfortunately, many of us collect rejections...Well, unfortunately, many of us collect rejections and silence and we don't really know why. I do not make spelling mistakes in my cover letters or CVs, I do not send a general "dear sir/madam" email to agencies, I do my homework before I contact someone who can be of help, I research and network, I have my own blog which I update and revise constantly, I have really good qualifications, and yet, due to my lack of experience, nobody wants to give me a chance. Even to volunteer as a translator, you need to have experience!!!!!!!!!! How absurd is that????? What are qualifications for??MFLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01290384266384324945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518334.post-62728008027346923402011-07-26T23:59:07.115-06:002011-07-26T23:59:07.115-06:00As an employer, I must agree 100%.
