Which companies will offer repeat work?
It depends on your field/language pairs, of course, but here are some suggestions:
– Large, established international businesses that develop new products for the international market/correspond with people abroad on a regular basis
– Companies that publish newsletters in several languages, could be once a month or every two months
– Companies with multilingual websites – check how often they are updated, the owner companies could be candidates for regular work
My guess would be that regular work equates to large companies – a solution could be to look for those with translation departments and address a request (in your chosen form, see previous post) to the department head. Such companies often use freelancers to smooth peaks or to do either the urgent work or the long pieces the in-house staff can’t cope with.
