There’s a dilemma new starters usually face early in their careers, known by some as the 'experience paradox': customers and employers won't hire you because you don't have enough experience; and because you struggle to get work, you can't gain professional experience.
Volunteering, either early in your career or while still as a student, is a powerful tool for gaining translation experience and start building a professional portfolio.
