It is owned by a woman named Lucia Mentani. Hers was one of the first agencies I worked for. Perhaps you could contact her for work and/or advice regarding the "English into Italian" market in the ... 28 Oct 2009 11:29 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14729msg187916.htm#187916 Floricel Chaves: Dear Alessandra, I am dealing with the same situation as you. I am from Mexico but I live in USA since 2006.

[snip] The demise of GeoCities is not just the disappearance of a gif-riddled online ghost town--it's the death of a pioneering online community. And it's a reminder that we should think ... 27 Oct 2009 10:23 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread11929msg186872.htm#186872 Jacek K.: How tough was the competition he faced? 1:100,000 as on this website? 15 Oct 2009 08:53 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread11929msg186868.htm#186868 Liliana Boladz-Nekipelov: This is a very inaqevuate approach, in my opinion, because a person is a marriage of good and evil. I am wondering sometimes how Einstein's writings would fare, from time to time, at least the less official pieces? 15 Oct 2009 08:33 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread11929msg186867.htm#186867 Jacek K.: All this is true, and as I said before I for one am not interested in professionals' pictures, but once I see one, and once I see how that person is spelling, the following article springs to mind: http://www.economist.com/daily/news/displaystory.cfm?story_id=14299211&fsrc=nwl If we see a ... 15 Oct 2009 08:23 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14879msg186720.htm#186720 Jonathan Downie: Thanks Jacek. I was due to redo my CV anyway for various reasons and that has been a great help. 13 Oct 2009 10:42 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14879msg186711.htm#186711 Jacek K.: Not at all. Such is life most of the time. A sample would be but a starting point for me. If I were interested, I would assign a 1-page job to such a candidate for an initial evaluation and would take it from there. 13 Oct 2009 09:19 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14879msg186708.htm#186708 Liliana Boladz-Nekipelov: Yes, this is why resumes are usually very vague in America: you list your employers and clients, but no phone numbers, no detailed information, and then you can give somebody two phone numbers for your references, if they are interested in employing you at all. Only CVs of court experts, for ... 13 Oct 2009 08:32 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14879msg186707.htm#186707 Jonathan Downie: Interesting. How would you see the naming of private clients?

It is interesting that we might expect the same from translators. ... 13 Oct 2009 08:14 GMT
