Description: Hello,

I am a recent college graduate with double majors in International Affairs and Spanish. I also have a minor in Spanish-English Translation, having taken four courses, including translation editing. I am very excited to begin my journey towards this profession, but I feel a little lost on how to even begin. I understand that I need to build my resumé with credentials and experience, and I am willing to do some pro-bono work to gain better translation skills and credentials. So, where should I look for mentors or those willing to hand me some translations that I would initially do for free? Any advice or suggestions from professional, experienced translators like you would be much appreciated!
