Have you ever stopped to think about the way you see your profession? Do you let the industry and the opinion of other professionals affect the way your present yourself to the market? At what level do these preconceptions influence your professional reality?
In this webinar, we will talk about the importance of facing our role as a real profession, discussing the concept/idea of "professional translator" and highlighting the main characteristics a translator should have to be seen as a real PRO.
You will be invited to think "outside the box", exploring three important points for your professional success: skills, attitude and professional appreciation.
Many translators have the necessary skills to work in the field but lack the professional (and successful) attitude to grow in the business. Let's list some of these important qualities and discuss how to improve them.
