Story flagged by: Paula Durrosier

Social media marketing and LinkedIn have already proven that they’re very valuable marketing tools, but now freelance translators in the United States are gaining another tool for growing their business. LinkedIn now has its new ProFinder tool which offers freelance translators even more opportunities.

We understand that it’s not always easy to stay informed and keep up with new technological trends, particularly when technology is forever changing. But we also know that it’s crucial for translators to stay up-to-date and current with whatever’s new in the translation industry.
