One of the concerns of undergraduate students in their final year of the Translation and Interpreting (TI) Degree is their career. Hence, to help clarify the doubts caused by their lack of experience in the audiovisual translation market, fieldwork was conducted in which the labour market for this TI specialization was actively explored. This article describes the experience, and presents the results obtained for the audiovisual translation market. The fieldwork involved various phases. First, the CEOs of three companies that offer audiovisual translation services, as well as seven audiovisual translators were interviewed. Then, their answers were analyzed in order to draw conclusions about the current audiovisual translation market. The information gathered from the interviews allows a panoramic view of the professional reality of the audiovisual translator and its labor market to be outlined, and it encourages future TI graduates to consider the possibility of focusing on this specialization with a more accurate and constructive insight into the profession.
