Wait, you can agree with me? 90% of you can agree with me? When you come to most of these Gulf countries What we call a good security company I think it's a good security company is going to be categorized in different 5 different forms and 5 different times Depending on which kind of contractor to sign with that company or with that security company And most of these companies that we look we have different types of contracts that we may sign For example, you have what you call a limited contract We have what you call unlimited contract. For the unlimited contract, we can look at two years. Then for the unlimited contract, we can look at an extent of the five years contract. That is part of what you need to understand. Most of the time when you look at most of these companies, they have what you call clauses in those contracts. And definitely, most of you who do not take time to read into those clauses of the contracts. I keep on saying and I keep on letting you know that each single word in the clause of that contract means something to the employer and due to the employer. So what I call a very good, what I would call a good security company in here in the Gulf countries or here in Qatar is that company that is going to agree or is going to give you whatever it agreed upon in what you call a contract and how does this go. For example, if this company agreed to give you the salary in time and it agreed that every 10th or every 30th or every 20th days of the end of the month it will be paying your salary. Then that is one thing that you call a good salary or good company because it's going to probably pay you that salary. It agreed upon to be paid to you in what you call a timely manner in that case. Then if this company agreed to give you what you call food to provide food for you and this food is provided to you in that quantity that you are supposed to consume and what kind of quantities we are talking about we are talking about the three times that you are supposed to have that food for the morning breakfast, lunch and dinner which is supposed to be served you with the nutrients food items that are supposed to build up your body and give you that energy so that one I would call it a very good company because very many companies would say they are going to provide you food but the food stagnantly being provided to you is unacceptable we call it unacceptable food because even if they pass on koshuming it you may not feel the value of that food meaning that this company has get over to lie to you and yet at the end of it or when we look at the clauses of what you call the libalo and allowance of what you call food allowance which is supposed to be given to you as an individual and if this company promises you to give you that food allowance and it gives it to you then probably I would call that company a good company so for the newcomers most of these things you just have to look at most of these things that we definitely which may be very helpful to our whole very whole fundamental to our development other than we looking at the other smaller minor things at the end of it so we look at salary if salary is being paid in time and this company agreed to pay you or it pays you the agreed date of the salary then probably meaning that you get the salary and use it for what you supposed to use it then if for example this salary agreed to give you the food allowance yes it gives you the food allowance ok if the company agreed to provide for you food then they did provide for you agreed meals that you supposed to have during the course of the day which is morning breakfast, lunch then also you supposed to have what you call dinner then we look at companies if the company agreed to give you what you call accommodation let it be that accommodation that can accommodate your good health but most of the companies we need to look at most of the security companies or some of the security companies the accommodations are really not that good hygiene of the accommodation is not good most of you agree with me wherever you are the kind of setting that you are living in accommodation you over packed in a room you sleeping more than 8 you sleeping more than diamond room you sleeping with cooking utensils you sleeping with your luggage next to you so you find that the company has gone beyond what was supposed to and that is not a good company it is not taking care of your health and remember every employee in the company becomes what you call an asset because you go to work you go to work and that company will be paid back so your good health also matters because if you are not healthy or if you are not in good health that means that you are not going to be able to perform your duties so meaning that you will not be able to give the productivity to that company so if the company takes care of your good health as one of the most important item then also we look at that as a good company in one way or the other for the newcomers you definitely have to agree with me that that is also very important for your health and for your wellbeing in one way or the other then when will we say it is respecting your work schedule if it said it will give you day off every week and it does that then probably go with that there is nothing more than you need that go for the day off let it accept it give you the day off it give you but there are some companies that tentatively we are going to give you the day off but again it is card it is not paid up and yet in a agreed contract you will have 26 days off you will have 4 days or 2 days in every month that are supposed to be paid but in this case instead the company will reverse it all they give you the day off but again it is not paid days off meaning that it is bleaching what was agreed upon in the contract so in that company in my regards it is not going to be a good company because it is bleaching the contract it is bleaching what was agreed upon in the contract hope I have tried to share something when you look at another thing also you look at what you call transportation transportation is time you get to have that schedule you have been transported in time and you have been gotten on such that you don't have any crop of view complaining about the overtime which is not paid by most of the companies do not want to pay overtime and yet it is part of the entire domain and is part of the Lebanon so looking at some of those few things for anyone that would think of what is a good company then probably I think it would give you a clear picture and you definitely will understand what a good security company would be and what a bad security company remember when we are talking about the expectations the reality of it all definitely we can fail to have those things most of the what we expect and the reality is that we get to face when we come here before we get to adapt to the conditions I think it's most of the things comes from what we call the recruitment agencies that over exactly whatever we have to find it and end of it all when we come here or when you come here you find something that is so different that is going to be stored off but I think for if you know you definitely are coming and you are coming into the Gulf for the first time for the first few months and your company where you are is supposed to give you all that I have tried to talk about then probably no you are definitely in a good company and what to do move on work take your target and move away and go to another level thank you so much for coming back to the channel it makes don't forget to support and don't forget to subscribe see you again in the next video


Hi, so maybe you'd like to start off as a freelance translator, but you haven't performed any translations yet You don't have a track record. You don't have a portfolio. You don't have any past translations that you can show to anyone So you feel that no one's gonna hire you because you don't have anything to show To prove that you can perform these translations. So I'm here to help you Build a track record to build a portfolio This video here is going to deal specifically with building a portfolio or a track record and say for your translation If you're looking for other ways to get the ball rolling and to get started I made another video which I'll link to right here. It's called the chicken and the egg and That shows you how other ways you can get started and it touches upon this but this video deals specifically with getting a track record and Create a building your portfolio So the first option is basically to find a random website that hasn't been translated yet Into your target language and translate it into your target language a couple points about this First of all, you want to make sure that you're not infringing upon any copyrights or stuff like that I would suggest just to go to Wikipedia and find a page that hasn't been translated and translate it yourself The beauty about this is that once you have translated it you can actually Propose it for the official translation into your target language And then if it gets accepted then you have a track record that you can point to online But even if you can't or even if it's from another website that doesn't become official or go online You can still use it in your portfolio because you'll have a legitimate Source language and target language translation Which brings me to the second method which is to contact an NGO or a not-for-profit of any sort 501c3 any one of those organizations because chances are that they don't have a translation into your target language But they can't afford to pay a translator and don't forget to contact Charities or organizations that are close to home that are around you that you know that you're a member of or that friends of yours are members So you could contact them and you can say hey I can perform this translation for free just because I need a track record be open about it be honest and Hopefully then they'll use your translation on their official website for their official material And so you can definitely point to that along those lines one organization that I know accepts freelance Translations on a voluntary basis is Ted Ted translates his videos into many different languages and usually it's always performed by volunteers So you can definitely try checking with them and try to perform some translations for them the next step would be to approach anyone who is in your Future industry and see if you can perform a translation for them now by future industry I mean your specialization if you are starting as a translator and you are going to specialize in legal translations Then this would mean approaching legal organizations although law firms tend to have quite a bit of money so I would shoot for legal organizations or maybe conferences or companies that supply law firms and Contact them about translating their website basically these will be people who will be your future clients But since they aren't yet you might as well use them to build up your portfolio Of course if you find a company website that isn't translated into your target language and you can perform that translation Then by all means you can contact them and say hey I performed your main about us web page into your target language How would you like me to do the whole thing for X amount or for a fee? wait, maybe a bit later before doing that because this will already mean that you get paid and It also means that they might not like the translation you made because if they refuse you in the first place Then suddenly you can't use the translation you made in the first place in your portfolio So it is safer to choose a website like Wikipedia that you're sure isn't copyrighted that won't get you in trouble And then you can translate into your target language without any problem But definitely keep in mind that a free translation of one web page of a certain website Can turn into a client at some point in the future Another approach would be to contact people that or contact companies that you might need something from Maybe you need a new website done So you can contact a website designer and say hey I can translate your website if you can design my website or something along those lines and you can Hopefully maybe create a deal where you do a favor for a favor So this will get your portfolio running and it'll also mean that you don't have to pay for whatever you need done like the new website Or pamphlet or business cars or I don't know a couple points to keep in mind first of all if you Want to perform your first translation for a friend? I strongly urge you to reconsider this and you might think you're a great translator But it doesn't fit what they're looking for something along those lines It's bad enough if you do this for a random company or you know in any type of client But if it's for a friend it just adds another layer of Being complicated and being awkward because then you put the friend in an awkward position that you don't want to put your friend in So your friend has to put you in an awkward position and it's just kind of bad all around if they can You know maybe push you in the direction of someone else that you can do a translation for then that's already better And that's about it I hope this helps and I hope these can help you get a track record get started and get your portfolio going if you found This useful, please click like Please feel free to subscribe because I'll have more videos about translation freelance translation Etc. And if you have any other suggestions for getting your Track record for getting your portfolio or something along those lines feel free to let me know in the comments I'm always interested about learning about new methods and stuff like that.
