Translation Job Opportunities (TJO) is a free subscription based job opportunity listing service started originally by Karin Adamczyk and now run by Janos Fazakas. It is hosted by egroups.com, a very popular free mailing list hosting service, who make their money by attaching a short but not-too-annoying advertisement at the bottom of all emails they send out. It also has "read it on the web" and "digest" options so that you don't have to receive all the individual emails unless you choose to. Current volume is an average of around 7 messages per day (although this can fluctuate a lot) from many sources all over the place. Members post job listings that they have found. Only members can post to the list so it remains pretty much free of spam. There is also a searchable archive of past messages.
To subscribe, send a message to tj_opps-subscribe@egroups.com or go to the TJO home page at http://www.egroups.com/list/tj_opps

Aquarius is the original and largest searchable translator database
on the web and has many thousand visitors every single day of the week!
Translators and agencies can
register themselves FREE.
Clients looking for a translator go to Aquarius and can
search on a whole variety of fields e.g. language pair, country
etc.
I have received work from people who found me through Aquarius. In fact, most online translators I know have met up with some new clients through this site.
Aquarius classifieds has new translation jobs listed daily, but there is an exciting new development at the Aquarius site (October 1999). It's called Aquarius RapidResponse. It is a system where clients list a project with Aquarius and then the project details are automatically sent to every member of the Aquarius database who meets the project criteria. e.g. If I'm looking for English to French translators who specialise in legal work, I register the project details and if you meet these criteria you will be sent an email about the project.
Does that sound interesting to you? If so you must be sure to get yourself listed at Aquarius. If you already are listed you must make sure your details are up to date. People change email address very often these days (I lose about 1% of tranfree subscribers every month due to address changes). So go and check your Aquarius record or create one if you're not listed! Click here to visit Aquarius.

There are several other job-listing services and FREE (and not so free) forums out there, but before I can recommend them to you I have to check out whether or not they are genuinely worth your time and effort. But watch this space - there will be more. Why not bookmark this page and come back later? Or subscribe to tranfree and you will get this information as and when it is available.
