@Adieu:
Lady,
Any idea what a translation agency does *before* including you in their database? Often, there is also a translation test. And you need to fulfill a certain number of criteria.
It is not my intention to blame Proz.com here. They served the translation profession well, and they continue to do a decent job. Some things could be improved, that is true..
The usual workflow is as follows:
Corporation > Translation Agency > Individual Translator
Corporations and translation agencies just don't belong in the same category.
A wonderful anti-scam tool Proz.com makes available to translators is the IP of the sender. If, for example, an alleged Brirish company writes from a Nigeria-located IP, perhaps something is not right. It is not obvious from the very beginning because the IP looks neutral, just numbers ... But it is rather easy to check. Many websites offer this service for free.
How am I or anybody else blaming proz?
Did anybody here yet say they used proz to connect with this company? I didn't
Who says we didn't take tests or send a resume?
Who's talking about an agency?
....and what does any of this have to do with what I believe to be incompetent people at real Iqvia and Andrea believes might be impersonators owing us money for Iqvia jobs????
PLEASE DISCLOSE YOUR INTEREST HERE. IQVIA EMPLOYEE? Agency employee/owner hard trolling all the scam threads here to convince people of the sad cold futility of solo work?
