RESUMEN DE LA CONFERENCIA:

Having an excellent command of one or more languages is a strong basis to start a career in translation and interpretation. However, long hours of study and laboratory practice in this pursuit may limit your possibilities to launch a promising career. You need “content” in a specific field or area of inquiry and a high degree of technical skill as to suffice the necessary meaning required by the target context. A recent survey by ATA reported that business was the most preferred area of specialization and approximately 45% of translators and interpreters have achieved a master’s degree. In particular, international business offers new graduates in translation and interpretation a wide variety of career and job possibilities in marketing, sales, import/export, professional conferences, international education, business publishing, and other areas of specialization.

This talk will focused on the different career opportunities in the field of international business and marketing. We will discuss how to continue your preparation and training to become marketable in a world economy; new demands for career advancement, how to select a target field where to apply your skills and competencies, different areas of business application, internships, and career models in business.

We welcome you to this interesting and rewarding experience. Get your skills line up with the demanding needs in international business. It is an imperative.
