This concerns those who act both as a freelancer and outsourcer.

Now it's impossible (at least as far as I know) to create one tagline for you as a freelancer and another one as an outsourcer: one and the same tagline is used for both your freelancer profile and your company one.

The problem is that a tagline which is good for you as an individual in many cases doesn't fit your company profile.

Example: 'Translator/Journalist/Voiceover'. For a freelancer Nikita Kobrin this tagline sounds OK but for a company NK Translations & Voiceovers it's not good.



Suggestion: I believe it would be useful to make it possible to create separate taglines for freelancer and company profiles.

What do you think?

Two separate names Nov 26, 2010

Jared,

And while we are on the topic I've got also another suggestion: possibility of two separate names for freelancer and company profiles.

Now both my individual profile and my company profile are called the same: 'Nikita Kobrin - NK Translations & Voiceovers'.

I would prefer my individual profile to be named just 'Nikita Kobrin' and my company profile - just 'NK Translations & Voiceovers'.

What about this idea? Is it possible?

NK
