DESCRIPTION:Setting up shop: newcomer perspectives on the translation indus
 try\nPanel discussion (part of the SENSE Online conference 3-5 June)\nThe 
 translation industry is changing\, meaning that aspiring freelancers and r
 ecent graduates need new skill sets and different strategies to set up sho
 p properly. If you’ve ever wondered how recent newcomers to the profession
  deal with game-changing developments such as PEMT\, globalisation\, Brexi
 t\, GDPR\, cloud tools\, and the ever-downward pressure on rates\, don’t m
 iss out on this panel discussion.  The panellists will discuss a broad ran
 ge of topics\, including acquisition\, marketing for freelance translators
 \, diversification\, standing out from the crowd\, and much more. In addit
 ion\, we will compare today’s market with the professional starting point\
 , back then\, of the more seasoned translators and editors in the room. Ha
 s it really become more difficult to start a successful business nowadays?
  Or have the technological advances made everything so much easier? Finall
 y\, we’ll discuss how SENSE members can help their newest colleagues and w
 hat new recruits have to offer in return. \nClick here to register for the
