Suggestions on How to Become Established as a Freelance Translator

For Students: Finding a Work Placement

I often get enquiries from students asking for work placements. I am a freelance translator working between English and German. My website states that quite clearly. How likely am I to want to employ someone doing French and Arabic? I could assist you with your business skills, book keeping, tell you some of my experiences, save you making some mistakes – but if you want to gain work experience you need to find yourself an agency or a business that has in-house translators in your language pairs and then you need to sell yourself to them. Please do your initial research thoroughly, you are much more likely to be successful that way. Good luck!
