Hi. I am a Japanese-Thai interpreter.

I have registered as a free user at proz.com since April but have not seached for a job since then. Today a translation company contacted me. They asked me to send my CV including my rate per 1000 words. As a beginner, I have no idea how much I should charge my customer. I am looking forward to your suggestions. Thank you
