No, I see fewer job offers than a year ago.

About half as many requests Dec 9

I used to get about one serious request through ProZ a month, resulting in an actual job. Now I got five in one year (and perhaps a sixth, just received an email from a small-scale medical translation agency)

More than half Dec 9

So far in 2024 I have received four requests from new clients through Proz.com that have resulted in projects, which is more than half of what I used to receive. Fortunately, almost all the other clients I've received through Proz.com have become repeat customers.

Definitely yes Dec 9

Significantly lower. But the number of requests by direct clients has increased.

Second time around on Proz.com Dec 9

Back in 2011, I received a serious inquiry by phone and then by email from Proz.com, which resulted in a 3-week software testing engagement in San Jose, California.

I returned to Proz.com last June, 2024. I've taken every opportunity to quote on suitable projects. I did get email acknowledgements but nothing else.

The barrel is pretty dry these days.

No point Dec 10

I never received actual jobs through Proz so when I started out on pension, I stopped being a paying member so no point in choosing any of the choices. But some of my regular clients seem to be fine with me.
