with time but one is prevalent. Not always the same though.
Do BIG organisations like EU or UN count for one even though there are different branches/locations/subjects?

I have four jobs on my desk at the moment. Broadly, petroleum, brewing, public sector administration and IT. I rarely have two jobs going for the same industry at the same time, unless I happen to have two on the books for the same client.

As a community interpreter in South Australia, I need to be versatile and interpret in many fields - from Medical to Police with everything in between.

At present, yes Jun 22, 2010

I answered "yes" as my income at present comes predominantly from one sector. Were that sector to suddenly disappear, my workload and income would fall dramatically.

But it depends how you read the question. My work, as such, is not limited to (and therefore does not actually depend on) one industry. There are a number of other fields that I could theoretically work in.
