Matagal ko nang gustong gamitin ang husay ko sa Ingles at Filipino para kumita, pero hindi ko alam kung saan magsisimula. Itinuro ng kursong ito kung paano gumawa ng propesyonal na profile sa mga translation platform at kung paano humanap ng kliyente nang hindi nahihiya. Gusto ko ang bahagi tungkol sa modernong daloy ng trabaho gamit ang mga online na tool, na ginawang mas mabilis ang pagsasalin ko. Hakbang-hakbang ang lahat kaya kahit baguhan ay kayang sundan. Pagkatapos ng ilang linggo, nakuha ko na ang unang bayad kong proyekto. Sulit na sulit para sa sinumang may kakayahan sa wika.

Als tweetalige had ik mijn talen nooit te gelde gemaakt. De uitleg over vertaalplatforms en het binnenhalen van klanten was praktisch en duidelijk. Ik had graag meer over CAT-tools gezien, maar ik heb inmiddels mijn eerste opdrachten binnen.

Turned my bilingual skills into actual paying gigs; the client-finding section was gold.
