It scares me when things fall out of the sky and land in my lap, and I think something like that just happened. Now that I have time to remember to do it, I went and looked up the next round of ATA certification exams. I always had it in the back of my brain that I should take the exam sooner rather than later, in case I end up having to spend most of my working life not doing translation and therefore fall out of practice.
So I looked up the exam schedule on the ATA web site. They're holding one IN KENT, on June 25. I wasn't planning on leaving until June 30 anyway. This is bringing the mountain to Mohammed, to a severe degree. The timing couldn't be any better. Granted, this is not an easy exam to pass, and although it's possible to get hired without ATA certification, it would definitely help if I could pass the exam.
Looking at it one way, the universe has just confirmed that I spent the last two years doing what I was meant to be doing. I put in the work getting myself to this point, and now I get help, of a kind I might need, right when I need it.
