Ayoub Hassan, here.

I have been using Proz for quite some time now. I’ll keep this brief! 😊

I have been in the Translation industry for 13+ years, handling Translation Projects, File Engineering roles handling localization projects, also Trained in-house translators on SDL Tools, worked with PMs, Translators, and clients from almost all over the world in my stint in this lovely industry so far. I have worked with some brilliant Translators throughout my time so far... See more

I have been in the Translation industry for 13+ years, handling Translation Projects, File Engineering roles handling localization projects, also Trained in-house translators on SDL Tools, worked with PMs, Translators, and clients from almost all over the world in my stint in this lovely industry so far. I have worked with some brilliant Translators throughout my time so far, most of whom have been working with me still, in a way. I also have some ex-colleagues who still back my work and expertise and in touch with me through LinkedIn.

I am now looking to start off as a Freelancer myself. I might possibly look into managing a Translators’ team myself someday, but for now just planning on starting off as a Freelancer to see how things fare.

I’m all ears to any suggestions/advice you guys can pass on.

Cheers!
Ayoub Hassan. ▲ Collapse

With your 13 year experience you’re probably better prepared than most of us were when we started, but you say nothing about your qualifications as a translator. I know of some translators who are also good PMs, but I, for one, though I’m a good translator I’d make a lousy PM…
