Work / Working as a PL-EN translator - good idea? Sworn translators in Poland. [27]
I am quite good at translations. if someone would just give me a chance and pay descent id translate anything to English. my from English to Polish translations on the other hand would be hit or miss as I do not write academic or high level Polish. but my translations to English are much better than any ai system could muster plus the editing i could throw in for good measure. There is this company called forum.eu on linkedin that i applied for such a translation job and it made me realize this is probably a scam company and they are looking for suckers on linkedin.
I couldn't find a way to flag linkedin job postings or report them anyone know? They literally had this guy call me and claim i was supposed to start my assignment now and would have less time than what he said two nights prior and at a different time frame. he claimed I was supposed to translate three full articles from gazeta wyborcza and i did not even have a subscription and you have to have a paid subscription to read entire articles. it was all a big scam man and later the same job posting was posted again and he keeps posting it for this ring or outfit called forum.eu on linkedin. I think they just get free work this way because they claim its part of the trial than post the job again. I barely finished one within a time span of an hour but turned the other one to him later but it just did not make any sense. why would you time such translation work and want someone to do three in an hour vs quality and longer lasting work? also, why change your mind give diff time frame and even less time than originally agreed upon? Have u ever heard of this scam on linkedin and know how to report them John?
I mean it is one thing to have high expectations but very technically written articles and three within an hr from gazeta eyborcza plus changing of the time frame and all for free then keep posting the same job on their company page or the linkedin job board for free samples like this? this is why this country is so ****** up or being here is so ****** up is no one respects you from other countries or pays you well and full of scammers trying to get free work from here.
