Hi Julian,
Thanks for the link. I think some people will find it useful like you say. For instance, the other day I was wondering about in-house jobs. I've always worked as a freelance translator, but thought it could be a good experience to work in-house, at least for a bried period. Well, it's just a thought. I've heard and read so many negative comments about it that I always end up thinking that freelance is the best choice for me. Anyway, thanks to you now I have this link to look at ...

Who knows what I (or others who are interested) might find.

Yes, I often think about in-house jobs- mostly when things are quite, like now! But it's give and take, one never knows and it's good to keep one's options open.
A lot of jobs seem to like a few years' freelance experience, which I frankly don't have.
There are a number of good UK sites with in-house jobs, I have stopped getting their email alerts as for the time being I have to concentrate on being a freelancer!

Working as an in-house translator gives you a very valuable insight into the business. Even if you don't deal directly with customers, you will learn a lot. And of course the professional development! It's clear that you cannot choose your jobs (so much) and it can sometimes be very hard and frustrating, but at the same time you will always learn and develop new specialist areas.
I you choose to go freelance afterwards, you also know better how to deal with agencies.

So does anyone have any advice on how to find decent in-house jobs using Japanese...?
(General advice is fine, or maybe even recomended sites, HR firms, specific companies... whatever....)?
Im a novice in the profession and frankly dont have the know-how to jump into freelance work... was hoping to get some experience through a company first. Although it seems perhaps that it works the other way around, from what Julian said?
In fact, just looking for pa... See more So does anyone have any advice on how to find decent in-house jobs using Japanese...?

In fact, just looking for part-time (about half-time?) and wondering if that sort of thing is even out there...
Any adivce on the matter? Looking specifically for Japanese > English, ideally in the Southern or Northern California area...
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
