Hey guys!

Elena and Emeline had a great blab a few weeks ago and we didn’t have the time to publish some show notes right away, so let me rectify this with this post. 🙂

Emeline is a freelance translator working from English and Spanish into French. She specializes in marketing/business, health and creative texts. She is passionate about social media and meeting new colleagues.

In this episode Emeline and Elena talk about the following topics:

Collaboration with colleagues and networking

• Online: Twitter, Facebook groups, through blog comments
• Offline: through your national association, freelancer initiatives (events, training, lunches)
• Mentoring schemes too!

Why collaboration is important

• Less isolation: other translators get you like no one else, they understand what you go through on a daily basis, and can relate. You also get a bigger picture of the industry you work in!
• Stronger together! We are NOT enemies
• Learning experience
• Building a network
• More chances of getting referred for a job
• You can recommend other translators to your clients if need be
• It’s a whole lot of fun 🙂

… and much more!
