Monday is traditionally the beginning of the work week, but for many freelancers—who dedicate their time, energy, and education each and every day—this isn’t the case. There is a particular Monday, which TransPerfect wants to celebrate with you: National Job Action Day. Every first Monday in November, the public is encouraged to take job action—by applying for new jobs, making follow-ups, or taking steps to progress in their current career—and this year TransPerfect is excited to participate.

The History

Job Action Day is dedicated to empowering job seekers to be creative and brave while looking for employment. The hope is that candidates will feel more focused and ambitious when it comes to finding the job that is right for them. Using this day as a platform, TransPerfect wants you to pursue your passion and work on more projects that bring you satisfaction and fulfillment!
