I did some active marketing at the very beginning (1985) in Brussels and built a list of the EC (EU now) institutions and agencies I was interested in working with and sent letters by snail mail (no email then) to all of them. My effort was quite successful just because this was a few months before Portugal entered the EC and there weren’t many Portuguese translators established in Brussels. The rest is history…

No; I've never made a list of companies/clients with whom I would like to work.

What would be the use of that, anyway? To procrastinate? It's the only one I see.

I checked "Yes" because there was no "Other" option.
I work mostly for international organizations and I know the organizations I would like to work for. On the other hand, fate has also connected me with organizations that were not on my list and they have been some of my best clients.

I have made my mind not to work with South-East Asian Companies due to there tight deadline and slow payment process.
