When it comes to working as an independent contractor or ‘freelance’ interpreter there are various skills that go beyond just knowing two or more languages. This workshop was inspired by years of frustration, trial and error and having conversations with various colleagues. During our time together, we will explore efficient and ethical business practices used by colleagues.
Such topics covered are: marketing and how we exist on social media, what invoicing elements are necessary for billing, and a brief discussion about tax information. We will also discuss helpful organizational systems, contract negotiating and will touch on retirement and insurance options. This workshop is intended to be a free flow of ideas and an information sharing session among colleagues.
