A translator certification can give you a leg up in your field whether you are applying for a new position or trying to get into the field for the first time. A certification is a great way to get noticed over the rest of the applicants. Though a degree can be very valuable as well, a certification can be a more concise and less time-consuming way to get added experience and skills.
Whether you acquire a translator certification in a classroom or online, having the added value of a certification is an excellent way to acquire training and skills that other applicants in the field may not have. The advantage that a certification can provide could mean the difference between having your resume pushed aside and landing your next translator job.
