 Now available my new article on interviewing: http://ezinearticles.com/?Translators- and-Interpreters---5-Ways-to-Improve-Your-Interview-And-Get-the-Job&id=3166059 

This article is written for all who seek employment whether full-time, part-time, in-house, or as a freelance contractor in the Translation and Interpretation industries. As an employer in the industry, I feel compelled to share this information to the benefit of all who wonder "why" they were not offered the last job they applied for. This information is not necessarily unique to our industry, but I hope you will take the suggestions into account for your next interview. Like any industry Translation and Interpretation is a competitive market for business owners as well as individuals seeking employment. If you want the job then you must standout. So, here are five areas to consider: Due Diligence, References, Portfolio, Professional Association and Insurance. 

1. Due diligence-Do your homework and research the company as thoroughly as possible. Today, it is possible to Google information not only about the company but also the individuals who operate it. The more you know the more you can position yourself to offer unique services by understanding "their needs". Hence, it behooves you to read the website, review clients base, services offered, methods of interpretation, and of course the posted career opportunities. Do not just say "I am inquiring about your job openings blah, blah". Tell them what you have to offer that can help meet their specific company objectives. Be energetic, with a can do attitude and remember to share your travel experiences as this is a plus in this industry.
