Business Questions We All Have

There are some business questions we all keep asking. Learn how to get answers.

As freelance language professionals, we often feel highly confident in our language skills but less comfortable with the business side of a language career. ATA’s Business Practices Online Community exists so we can share questions, concerns, answers, and support. Find out what questions keep getting asked in the community – and how you can join and take advantage of the community’s collective wisdom.

In this webinar, you will:

1. Learn what the Business Practices Online Community is and what it does.
2. Review the top queries submitted over the course of the community’s history.
3. Find out about resources you can use to deal with some of the issues brought up in the community.
4. Learn how to join and contribute to the Business Practices Community.
