New Translator and Interpreter group launched on Facebook

Applied Language Solutions have caught Facebook Fever and are using the popular social networking site to connect with translators and interpreters worldwide. A brand new Facebook group has been created to generate interest in the International Translation Company. The group entitled ‘Are you a translator or interpreter? Join Applied Language Solutions’, was created by Richard Michie, Head of Marketing and PR, as a recruitment tool to attract more translators and interpreters to the company’s already extensive database talkbase.net.

Richard Michie commented, “We are continually searching for new Translators and Interpreters to compete with the levels of demand for our services. Presently, Facebook is a worldwide craze so we thought what better than to use the resource to both increase awareness of our services and to also target new translators and interpreters.”
