Several, in fact. My favorite story: The son of a man I wrote to in 1974 found my letter in his father's briefcase in 2014 and located me through ProZ to respond--40 years later!

That's a lovely story Muriel!
My friends haven't found me, but I have found friends and colleagues. I just today checked up on the contact details of a translator I used to outsource to as a PM, to recommend their services to an agency for a job I didn't feel I could do justice to.
| | | |
Not through Proz, but thorough LinkedIn. I’ve been contacted by PMs who changed jobs and lost contact with me, by one or two clients who had disappeared, by a distant relative and even by the owner of the house I lived in for a few years in Brussels. Through Proz I have developed some very good virtual friendships…

I think some people have found my profile trying to find me, from other areas in my life. I prefer to keep my translation work separate from other areas of my life, and thankfully people can also find me on Facebook and tend to message there.

| Let me put it this way, | Apr 18, 2019 |
While I do not mind people contacting me with job offers via Linkedin and Facebook, I have no desire being contacted via Proz.com for anything non-job related. It is already bad enough to filter scammers and low paid jobs, so the last thing I want is to start getting more unsolicited emails.

On a couple of occasions I have met a fellow translator and realized that we've interacted on ProZ.com, so I introduced myself as "JaneTranslates on ProZ" instead of Jane Ramírez. It worked!

| No, but I have found colleagues whom I now regard as friends | Apr 19, 2019 |
I do my best to make sure people do not find me too easily on the Internet, and most of my friends know that.
Just as I used to say my real friends never call me Chris, my real friends also know other ways of getting hold of me!

If you consider virtual friends, lots of them.
