Suzana Marques Local time: 11:05 English to Portuguese + ...
Apr 11, 2008
I've been translating for a large number of years now and in the fall I'm moving to the UK from Portugal. I would like to give translation project management a go. I have a course in Project Management but as such never put it to use, professionally that is. I have, however, extensive experience in the field as this has been a job requirement over the years. Any suggestions or know of an agency looking for a PM?
Thank you

It seems that being a low-level supervisor is one of the most boring things to do. Translation is creative; managing is tedious.

Often the manager knows nothing about the languages and the specialisation fields... the manager just manages and supervises, and does paperwork, and satisfies the "requirements" of the bigger bosses. Seems just awful. Very repetitive job, almost like in a factory. ▲ Collapse
