This video is associated with the "Freelancers - To specialise or not to specialise - that is the question! " training course.

Purchasing this video will also enroll you for that training course (at no charge), and the course will therefore appear in your ProZ.com training My courses page.


The course will discuss whether or not we should specialise, which subjects are the most marketable specialisms and how many specialisms might be too many. As well as discussing how to use a past career or perhaps a current leisure interest as the basis for our specialisms, we will consider the possibility of having different or the same specialisms in various languages.

We will look at the right time in your career to specialise and when it is safe to move away from being a generalist. We will also consider what counts as "specialist knowledge" and the difference between "specialists" and "experts" - being a specialist doesn't necessarily mean that you are an "expert".

The course will also help you to market your specialisms in a way that is legal and honest and does not mislead potential clients.
