What jobs should a translation professional apply for?
A translation professional can either apply within the translation industry or outside it. Examples of the former would be as a translator, interpreter, or project manager for an agency, a governmental agency, or small translation business. Examples of the latter would be translation jobs for non-translation firms, in other words, in the foreign language division of a publishing company, the human resources department of a multinational corporation, the legal division of a large international firm, the office of a large financial institution that’s in a major city with a large immigrant or visitor population, the touring department of a large travel company, the conference division of a meetings firm, etc. Honestly, the possibilities are endless.
