– Can you send me a few samples of your most important projects?
-Where are you located?
Thank you,
1) Please excuse me if I do not reply to your further questions immediately but I am also busy managing day-to-day operations, so I review CVs of potential new linguists only once/week. I generally pre-select linguists as a combination of rates and qualifications/experience.
2) I have a very fast payment policy: the first project will be paid within one week, afterwards I ask all my linguists to send me an invoice monthly containing all projects of the month, and I pay it within the first week of the following month e.g. if you send me your invoice by Jan.30th with all the projects of January, I will be paying it by max the 7th of February).
3) Please send both your CV and detailed reply to all my questions as based on this, I will pre-select linguists.
