Course Description

Most interpreters and translators don’t have their own terms and conditions, but rather tend to rely on those sent to them by their work providers. In many cases this leads to a David and Goliath type of power imbalance. This course will explain how and where to get a set of terms and conditions and use it to your best advantage. This means understanding the delicate art of negotiating! Learn the terms and conditions that can most greatly impact the interpreters' everyday working lives by setting the rules for money, time, and place. You will also have the chance to review non-disclosure agreements and the sorts of unreasonable terms that some clients may try to impose on you as a condition for being given the privilege of working with them. You can’t afford to miss this session!
