Freelance Türkçe Çeviri

[knnrn]

Aylar önce bir arkadaşımın tavsiyesi ile Masterword diye bir çeviri firmasına başvuru yapmıştım. Boş zamanlarımda Türkçe-İngilizce çeviri hizmeti vererek ek gelir elde etmek istiyordum. Dün beni aradılar ve süreçle ilgili bilgiler verdiler. Houston'da son zamanlarda Türkçe çeviri talebinde bir patlama olduğunu söylediler. Tabii burada profesyonel çeviriden bahsetmiyorum, benim bu alanda herhangi bir eğitimim yok. Ancak bu firma da zaten bu yönde uygun fiyatlı hizmet veriyor. Her neyse, edindiğim bilgileri paylaşayım, belki birine yararı olur. Bana hafta için mesai saatlerinde uymadığı için sürece devam etmeyeceğim.

Firma web sitesi: https://www.masterword.com/

Ücret: Saatlik 25 dolar, minimum 2 saatlik ödeme yapılıyor. İş 10 dakika da sürse bu şekilde.

İş niteliği: %80 oranda yüz yüze çeviri. Genelde sağlık kurumları, okullar, mahkeme salonları gibi yerlerde. %20 oranda ise telefon veya görüntülü sohbet ile. Genelde 2-3 gün öncesinden size bilgi veriliyor ve işi almak isteyip istemediğiniz soruluyor. Neredeyse tamamen hafta içi mesai saatleri içinde oluyor.
