Direct Clients Versus Translation Agencies
If you decide to work for a translation agency all you have to do is send out your resume and hopefully they will call you for an interview. But if you decide to work directly with clients, you should expect to spend a lot more time to approach potential client before obtaining your first client. You should also follow some additional steps in order to gain new clients or work with translation agencies.
- You can find a lot of translation agencies in the Yellow Pages or in the internet, when it can be much harder for you to find clients through Yellow Pages or in the internet.
- You can send your resume with your qualifications to translation agencies while also looking for potential clients of your own at the same time as these often take some time to develop.
- By working for a translation company you know exactly how much you will get paid at the end of the week. It can be very different from working directly with clients where you have to establish a different price for different projects and most of the time the client will renegotiate the price.
