She recently became a paid member of Xing and joined several interest groups related to her passion for Hungarian hunting dogs. (She would probably be the last one to join a language or business-related group with the idea of marketing her services.) Lo and behold! There too she discovered contacts working in industries we love that are explicitly looking for a German to English translator. So even getting involved in online interest groups for your hobbies might prove productive for business, even if that is not your goal in joining. What's the old saying? "Do what you love and the money will follow." Even if it doesn't, you'll at least have fun!Kevin Lossnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727800526216764023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-27422774807866840172009-02-05T20:14:00.000+00:002009-02-05T20:14:00.000+00:00Thanks for the tip, Kevin, that's exactly what I w...Thanks for the tip, Kevin, that's exactly what I was looking for - you made my day!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15103528274831365649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-980558851347031562009-02-05T11:04:00.000+00:002009-02-05T11:04:00.000+00:00Ah!

(That happens when one reads in the wee hours of the morning.) I'll look into it more often, as I'd like a little more insight into the translation world outside my narrow stomping grounds in Europe.<BR/>I like the template you use for your blog too - it displays the information in a way that is better for reading I think. I need to do an aesthetic makeover of this one some day and figure out how to post pictures and screenshots.Kevin Lossnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727800526216764023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-10823121961335464812009-02-05T10:03:00.000+00:002009-02-05T10:03:00.000+00:00Hi.
