I have an advanced degree in a field that's been rough for me, but have an undergrad degree in area studies with a minor in a language.

My dream was always to be a translator. In undergrad, I studied a few languages- I've been at least B2 in 3 languages at different points, and I recently tried taking a first pass at translating a few short chapters from some books, enjoyed it, and like how they came out. I'm working on getting my language skills back up to par, and I would be interested in going into translation.

What steps could someone interested in breaking into the field take? Would it be possible for someone to review what I've translated and give me some feedback?

I left the research admin field for 1 year to try out a term, entry level position in a career in a related field and would like to go back into research administration.

I am a CRA with 3 years experience in research administration and I have a related advanced degree. I'm looking for a research admin job, preferably on the contract side. I'm subscribed to the RESADM email list, but I'd like to know if anyone has any job suggestions, or resources that I could use to find a job.

Thank you.
