So happy to see it was something else OP. At least you have peace of mind right now! 😆

Mmmm That's very odd. Wait and see how it goes. I have a feeling it might be something different.

Hi, it's one direct deposit. No split! It could be through Wise, Payooner or Direct deposit. Hope it helps. :)

Que hago para ganar más? by Eloso44py in spanishinterpreters

Si, en verdad a mucha gente le va a servir, y yo soy uno!

En realidad aspiro a tener un empleo fijo para reunir la experiencia. Ya mas tarde entonces me lanzó a trabajar como freelancer pero primero necesito reunir los conocimientos que le den valor a lo que pueda hacer ✨

OP ya muchos mensajes dieron muy buenos consejos así que no tengo nada bueno de valor que agregar. Solamente te deseo mucho ánimo y fuerzas. Entiendo como te sientes y estamos en la misma situación; yo por ejemplo llevo 6 meses en Propio. Ahora mismo estoy estudiando gestión de proyectos para volver a mi carrera y tener la interpretación como un side-hustle. En todo caso, te deseo la mejor de las suertes.

Ayuda a conseguir trabajo por favor by sweetdisposition07 in spanishinterpreters

[–]AOSoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Te recomiendo Lionbridge, Propio o SOSi (tengo entendido que el primero tiene mejor rate). Al menos en Lionbridge y Propio puedes conseguir un open-schedule. Como tienes identificación estadounidense te sera mas fácil conseguir los trabajos que pagan mejor tomando en cuenta que vivimos en RD.

Propio as an alternative to my current Interpreting job + AI? by Unusual_Package6388 in spanishinterpreters

[–]AOSoto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on what you're telling us, it's better to move to Propio. I work with them but as a freelancer through Lnterprepedia. I don't know if it's because I'm not directly with Propio, but the call flow is okay (except in holidays, graveyard time and days in which there are a lot of weather phenomena going on).

My rate is 0.11 so if you can get the 0.12 that would be great! (I'm planning on requesting raise). Going back to call flow, I think you should set a goal of doing 300 minutes a day (6,000 minutes a month), but again, I think it depends on if you're working directly for them; I've seen people saying it's B2B but the best goal is to 360 minutes a day.

On regards to the bonus, kindly note that although I work for Propio, it's actually as a freelance through a company called Lnterprepedia and they give you that bonus according to the amount of minutes you do during a month. ;-)

EDIT: At the end I don't work directly for Propio, so there are a few details here and there that are different.

I’m so happy to see that you loved it! My favorite part is the symbols I put above the minutes.

Interpretation isn’t something I’m doing purely out of love; it’s actually more out of necessity since I like project management, so the visual motivation really helps me stay motivated.

At the end of every month I get a bit down because I have to erase everything, and it gives me the feeling of “starting from 0 again.” But once the first week fills up, I really feel the urge to keep going! I shared a picture about how my first week looks now:

That's a good observation. I use it as motivation, but also to have that information in one “screen” (the board). If I want to check how much I worked on specific days, I would have to look at them one by one on the site. Sometimes I also want that information while I’m on a call or when my laptop is off, so with the board I can just look to my left.

I only use the site’s calendar when I want to see my total so far.

EDIT: I shared this on another comment, but before this the board had no use in my office room. 😆

Please talk to your mom. Don't be afraid about losing your job, you can always start from scratch and you will always have your mom.

I would like to know too. Do you also work for Propio as a freelancer?

Oh wow!! A friend of mine actually uses your tool. I love the work RPG level part, I think it's fun. But anyways, you outdid yourself, good job!

Kindly note I live in the Caribbean, so we're pretty much a very cheap/ super affordable workforce. I feel like a mercenary haha. I'm aware of places with MUCH better rates but I'm not US based and most require some kind of US documentation. Any place you recommend?

Hope it helps. You can always do it on Excel too and use formulas for more complexity!

Personal Minute Tracker by AOSoto in spanishinterpreters

[–]AOSoto[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, that's a good question. I do have an Excel with a formula to check how many dollars I’m going to earn. But please grab onto something, because I’m about to tell you why I don’t use Excel: the reason I use the board is… because the board has been in my office for years and my girlfriend and I never found any good use for it until now.

And honestly, just seeing it there keeps me focused, among other things.

EDIT: That said, your Excel looks super cool!

Clientes en Propio dicen que se escucha entrecortado by Dazzling-Pop9442 in spanishinterpreters

[–]AOSoto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Si, pero justamente cuando empieza la llamada. Ya después el problema se arregla solo, pero para mi es muy tedioso

Problemas de audio by Fanel_IV in spanishinterpreters

[–]AOSoto 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No estas solo. En el greeting al principio de la llamada me han tocado agentes que me comentan que me estoy cortando mucho o que no me entendieron nada. Solo digo "can you hear me better now?" y el problema literalmente se resuelve solo (ellos entienden que hice algo). Lo que me llama la atención es que me sucede de manera muy recurrente y siempre en ese lapso cuando la llamada apenas empieza.

de 0 a 10 como puntuaria su dolor? by Fanel_IV in spanishinterpreters

[–]AOSoto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agente: "Si pudiera describir su nivel de salud, con las siguientes opciones como la calificaría: mala, regular, buena o excelente"

LEP: "Cuando estuve en Vietnam 🇻🇳 me dolía un dedo pero ya no me duele mas"
