... anything comes up in between. I update my résumé annually because the year shows up at the top and I don't want to give the impression to potential clients that I don't care enough to update it annually, or that I've been out of circulation too long. If anything comes up in the meantime, I will also go online and add the latest news. | | |

Supposing we're talking about the ProZ profile, every month, or whenever I have new relevant information to add. If you're talking about any other site or network, maybe once a year. | | |
I find it difficult | Oct 20, 2016 |
Yes, I may start to work in a different field, but is it really of any benefit to inform everyone that I'm now somewhat of an expert in forklift trucks? I prefer to keep the profile fairly vague. | |

It doesn't seem to be worth the bother anyway since nobody reads it. Or why else would someone ask me to do a legal Swedish-German translation? I don't think that I mentioned 'legal translations' anywhere in my profile... | | |
