Out of my experience May 28, 2008

Hi !

I was asked by an agency to interpret several times. The agency paid all the hours spent with the clients. Once it was 8 hours, and you can imagine that I have NOT been interpreting all the time.

Good luck!

Charge May 28, 2008

At least 500 euros per day, 8 hour day when you are with them, regardless of what you are doing. Over 8 hours, charge more. Gaza is a dangerous place.

500 euros Jun 18, 2008

If I do interpretation for Amercan and European clients in China, is it possible for me to charge 500 euros on a daily basis?

Many thanks,

Jack
