The one she mentioned still exists and claims to be the oldest online marketplace for translation and localisation. The first job came through Proz.com, from a client I worked with for several years. Indeed, although I do not work for that agency any more, one of my current best clients head-hunted me at the recommendation of a former PM from the earlier company.

I discovered Proz about nine years ago when I was having trouble getting paid by an agency in France which later went bankrupt. Before that, I didn't know such sites existed, but I'm very glad they do.

I was told about it while studying my Masters by a freelance translator who had come in to talk to us about the freelancing side. I didn't join until I was seriously considering going freelance and another translator advised me to.

I discovered it through my University teacher at the University of Salento (Lecce).
She held a seminar with a professional translator and he gave us the name of this website (among other useful information).

Somebody made a post on the premier translators site before Proz existed. They compared the two sites saying how Proz was vastly superior. They were right.
Now the only translators site I ever visit is Proz. Nobody else comes close.

I received an email from an agency which got into a spam folder as it was a mass mail. Still, I had a look at it and they were calling for resumes and asked to provide a link to a Proz profile. I did some research...
