Aquarius - RapidResponse

Aquarius is the original and largest searchable translator database on the web and has many thousand visitors every single day of the week! Translators and agencies can register themselves FREE at http://aquarius.net

Clients looking for a translator go to Aquarius and can search on a whole variety of fields e.g. language pair, country etc. I have received work from people who found me through Aquarius. In fact, most online translators I know have met up with some new clients through this site.

Aquarius classifieds has new jobs listed daily, but there is an exciting new development at the Aquarius site. It's called Aquarius RapidResponse. It is a system where clients list a project with Aquarius and then the project details are automatically sent to every member of the Aquarius database who meets the project criteria. e.g. If I'm looking for English to French translators who specialise in legal work, I register the project details and if you meet these criteria you will be sent an email about the project.

Does that sound interesting to you? If so you must be sure to get yourself listed at Aquarius. If you already are listed you must make sure your details are up to date. People change email address very often these days (I lose about 1-2% of tranfree subscribers every month due to address changes). So go and check your Aquarius record or create one if you're not listed! Visit Aquarius at http://aquarius.net

Experts on the Web

Experts on the Web is a career-oriented web site for language translators and other independent consultants. After a free registration, a translator can post his or her resume/CV, search for jobs, bid on contracts, find and contact other translators and search for recruiters/translation agencies. Other features include e-mail alerts that notify you when a recruiter views your profile and a statistics page that shows how many people search the database each day. Every potential client is able to contact translators through an online form. However, no personal information is ever revealed without prior consent.

Experts on the Web currently has a database of over 2100 professional translators and is growing rapidly. Why not add your qualifications today? http://www.expertsontheweb.com
