This is the title of Corinne McKay's book. She is a certified transalator with the ATA and also offers a course on line for us beginners.
Let me tell you this book has helped me so much! Everything from the basics of the industry to self promotion and starting and organizing your own business is covered. There are tips on writing resumés and cover letters, marketing, invoicing, following up, CAT tools and much more. When doing marketing I often refer back to her advice and suggestions. After reading this book and incorporating many of her suggestions I feel ready to take on the translation world! I do. I feel more confident sending out my CV now that it looks more polished (thanks to her I rearranged mine in a manner that highlights what I should have been all along!). I don't expect an inbox of projects overnight, but, I am sure that I am on the right track and feel much more professional!
