Bio: Alejandro Cavalitto is a member of the ProZ.com team devoted to support activities, such as providing members with assistance with their profiles and helping them to get the most from the site.
"I thought the presentation was a bit childish (Joe goes on a street to find a translator...), but hi..." Read moretted the spot by addressing which areas of oru profile we can improve. I thought maybe a bit too much time was spent on reviewing attendees' profiles (2 or 3 - instead of 5-6 - would have been sufficient).
I wished the trainer had explained better the PRO certified network (I forgot to ask)."
