for each team are described below.
Standard Business & Business Critical Translation team:
You will need a minimum of 5 years relevant commercial experience.

Ideally we'd also like you to belong to the Institute of Translators
and Interpreters or other internationally recognised professional
body.

a minimum of 2 years relevant commercial experience. Please
do not apply to join the First Draft Translation team unless you

London Translations do not use inexperienced translators or
interpreters therefore you will need to demonstrate a successful
track record to be considered. If you are just starting out on your
career as a translator or interpreter, we wish you luck and hope
that you will contact us again when you have gained the required
experience.
Please see our Freelancer Guide

we can to help you but we cannot offer you work. Please DO NOT apply.
No.
No, although all translators are required to complete a short test
piece (You will be paid for this work). Interpreters will be interviewed
and references sought.
Phone: Being responsive is what it's all about. We must
be able to contact you easily by telephone during working hours
(and sometimes outside working hours as well).
Internet connected computer: Translators must have access
to either an IBM compatible personal computer and/or an Apple Mac
system. As a minimum, we ask that you have an email address, know
how to send and receive attachments, and are capable of producing
documents in Microsoft Word for Windows format. Access to other
software packages (especially Microsoft Office) is a definite advantage.
Fax: Many clients prefer to submit documents
via fax. For this reason it is important that you have access to a
fax machine for both sending and receiving purposes.
London Translations will pay you by cheque in Sterling
within 15 days of receipt of your invoice. We pay you even if our
client does not pay us. We pride ourselves on our payment record and
