But Russia I know and I can assure you that one can travel there pleasantly without the prerequisite of drinking vodka yourself. |
Sure. Just kidding.

RE: Ridiculous job offers
Thank you, Johanna.
I guess it's a little like travelling in Denmark, where pastry (Wienerbrød) made with a special type of very rich and very flaky phyllo dough is served everywhere. Or eating fresh corn-on-the-cob and luscious tomatoes from New Jersey, where they don't come any better.
Just as with job offers from different countries 
N.
PS: Nik, you can always visit me here and then we'll stick to dry white wine....

RE: Ridiculous job offers
Not being sanctimonious guys, but just how many of you are OT here? . Vodka is a liberator of inhibititions, and memory from the night before when you wake up.

RE: Ridiculous job offers
How low can you go in Spanish and Portuguese to English?
Must have at least 3 years experience in the relevant field and must be Native English. Daily communication would be a must as well. Please send your CV along with references and your best rates to info at [see job board]
Payment: 0.05 USD per word..
These people should not be in business. It's scandalous. It means they are charging 12 and giving 5 to the translators.
\If Life Sciences and Biology research companies think they will get any quality here, they can FORGET IT.
They will not, I can guarantee that.

RE: Ridiculous job offers
That's not so bad as another agency which posted a couple of advertisements today. When I applied last year they made me make a test translation online, I passed it and then they sent me their agreement to sign... 0.015 USD per word, plus discounts with Trados, for medical translations!!!!! When I said I could not work for those rates, they offered me 0.02 USD per word!!!!! I couldn't believe it!
