Hello, i'm new to Proz.com. I applied to some projects but i haven't recieved a positive response to any of those applications yet. What's the best way to hired for projects? Is there a roadmap or i should follow or which steps i should take to get hired? I'm kind of lost and don't know how to proceed at this point. I am open to any tips and suggestions. Thanks in advance for replies.

Dear Ömer,

Please let me give you a good advice: 'Find another line of business'.

The translation industry is like a sinking ship, and unless you know how to navigate through the 'niches', you will go down. AI took over the business. Sorry to be the one to tell you.

Please read the forums on Proz about this subject.
