Hair extensionist/translator.
Work is in Helsinki and it includes making hair extensions, assisting in making them, improving the company's international visibility and translating business correspondence from Finnish into European languages, including English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
1-5 years of experience of hair extensions and translating would be nice.
The job is part-time, 5 hours a day 5 days a week and you will be paid 1000 €/month.
(I will add that that is less than 1/3 of a decent monthly salary in Finland. The ad itself could REALLY have used a proofreading,)
I should think they will be drowning in competent job applicants! ▲ Collapse

Some months later there was a new ad for" an automotive worker/translator - full time job, half time as a worker and half time as an interpreter French-Polish - minimum wages of course. This was just after Poland joined the EU and many companies wanted to hire low-wages workforce from new EU countries. ▲ Collapse

| Paid trials (but not quite what you might be thinking...) | Jul 7, 2009 |
Things being a little quiet here at the moment, I was looking through some agency listings. In the Registration Procedure of one agency, they mentioned a Translation Trial (Paid). However, further investigation showed that the agency want to be paid 5,000 yen for the service of checking your unpaid translation.

I think I'd sooner start my career improvement by practising putting hair extensions on my neighbour's dog before I considered paying to take trials. At least with the hair extension/translation job, the flow of money is going in the right direction... ▲ Collapse

| doesn't beat yours, but... | Jul 8, 2009 |
In the our Ministry of Employment's job ads portal there's constantly (not hard to figure out why...) a job ad for a Chinese/Arabic translator for a fishing company, working 8 hours a day from 9 am to 6 pm, for the tempting monthly salary of 500€. Mind you, it's above our minimum wage (around 420€)... But still 4 or 5 times less than a decent salary here. From time to time this job ad disappears, and then reappears again a couple of months later - I wonder if they managed to find someone in ...

Is this translator offered a share of the catch?

I certainly hope so - it might even be a good deal after all, given the current price of the sardines in our supermarkets
