When?
Sometimes translation agencies ask you for a reference list when you send your application,
so this would be a good time to attach a copy. As far as direct clients are concerned, the best
time is after first contact, via email, if you know the email address of your potential client. For
example: " Please find attached my résumé that provides information about my experience and
training. I also included a reference list of my former/actual clients... "
If you've made contact via social networks and the client asks you for more information,
you can answer: " I would be happy to send you my résumé and a reference list of my former/
actual clients... "
Shaping a Solid List Takes Time
Finally, in my opinion, it takes time to build a solid reference list of your clients. Happy clients
can help you create this list, but the most important thing to remember is that you must have a
reference list of former/actual clients " shaped " for future target clients.
