Oh, I don't think I wanna be in your shoes. Are your from Syria natively? I mean were you born there or you married a Syrian?  Ok....I believe you can try searching for a job as freelancer and leave the "woman" part of you aside, because when it comes to web-desinging and women, There is this missconception that they don't match.
Also, try to find a translation agency which hires personnel. I'd try Europe. Online of course. |

|

If you are trying to do web design work Tinycute, what language are you working with? If you work with your native language (Arabic? ... Salam Alaykom) you will have a better chance of employment. If you are working in one of the other languages at which you may not be as fluent, prospective employers will be concerned at the standard in which you will write their online articles.
Some times you need to invest a little to make a little. For example, if you contacted a service club or sports club that doesn't have a web site and asked them if you could make one for them free of cost (except hosting), subject to their agreement that you could use them as an example (they'll be delighted to receive the visitors) and as a referee in relation to the way in which you conducted your business with them.
Then you contact other sports/service clubs and offer them a similar site (using the example as your demonstration) and give them a special price (or what they think is a good deal).
How do you think this approach would work? |
