Everyday me and my colleagues see larger numbers of enquiries from Arabic translators seeking work. I hope that some of my observations will help you be more successfull.

1) Update and scan your computer for viruses

How many Arabic translators CV's get caught by an agencies firewall? I don't know. It seems to happen in waves. We will have a batch of Arabic translators emails in a few days and then none for ages. But generally the email is deleted!

2) Put your details in the subject section of the email

If you are applying for a project posted on the web, put a reference to it in the subject box. The reference number for instance. If you are applying generally, list the languages in which you translate.

Why is this important? Simply Arabic translation agencies get a stack of emails each day and you want to be found. The Arabic translation project manager wants to be able to pick out the enquiries for their project with ease.

For general enquiries, you want your details to be saved in the right place. If the agency can see your languages they can copy your mail into the right languages section rather then putting you in the dreaded 'look at later pile'.

3) Don't apply for something you are not

We always look for Arabic translators to translate into their mother tongue and write this in our adverts. But we always get a loads of CV's for people who do not fit the bill. For instance I post a job for a Italian>English Arabic translation and get a CV from a Dutch native speaker who is fluent in neither language.

4) Don't forget to provide rates and the rest of your 'required' information

When I am looking for a new Arabic translator and I have a number of applications, my shortlist will not include anyone who has missing information. I regularly see people who have missed their rates off the application. If a Arabic translation PM has opther options, they probably won't chase a Arabic translator for further information.

5) Contact Info

I am not talking about address here. I am thinking of mobile phones.

Once a job has been confirmed the Arabic translation PM will wish to have the assignment placed with a Arabic translator ASAP. If they can't find another number for you they will be likely to move further down the list and call the next Arabic translator.......your competition.

I hope my short list of tips for Arabic translation applications assist not only Arabic translators, but also Arabic translation PM's.!
