Yesterday, DaVinci announced new recruiting window to open soon. Here’s link of their post in steemit.

The new recruiting window is from 7/1 to 7/3 UTC-6 , only 3 days window. Anyone whom submitted their application in last round does not need to resubmit, they keep good record of all application and will reevaluate.

On the same date, Utopia also announced to increase voting power for translation category from 25 to 35. It’s a big increase. If you are accepted as their translator and can deliver high quality work, your reward will be very meaningful. This could be decent income for many people esp when steem & steem dollar is so low.

This is the process for the application:
Submit a steem post in both English and your native language. Need to explain reason for your application
Submit an audio in the same post containing both English and your native language, this would help DaVinci team to understand your fluency level at both language.
Use tag#davinci-application for submission.

You are not done yet, there is one last step that you need to follow, ie. Post your link to #job-application-room in DaVinci discord.

The idea is for each team to have 1 language manager and 5 translators. In last round’s selection, there are still many seats vacant:
Chinese: 3 open seats
German: 5 open seats
Italian: 2 open seats

Hopefully they are able to find more people to back fill these vacancies. Also in the past round application, they also found some interesting candidates for some other languages, there could be potential opportunity for formation of those languages should they find the right candidates.

For anyone whom missed first selection, you may want to consider this. With close monitoring by DaVinci, CM/LM, the bar of quality for translation has been raised high, this is why Utopian decided to increase their voting power for this category. If you are a qualified candidate and are committed, pls come join us.
