• Answer all client calls professionally, relaying the first name and interpreter ID for every call.
• Always use polite forms of expression, enunciate clearly, and strive to provide legendary customer service, even in emotionally charged situations.
• Conduct intake and pre‑session scripting for each client.

Technical Requirements for Remote Work (TI/VRI)

• High‑speed wired internet service with minimum download speeds of 10 MB/s and upload speeds of at least 5 MB/s.
• A noise‑canceling quality hardwired headset.
• Webcam.
• HIPAA‑compliant workspace area with good lighting.
• Solid background suitable for virtual calls.

Your Background and Experience

• Complete fluency in English in addition to your mother tongue.
• Depending on the language pair, 2+ years of documented professional interpreting experience is desired.
• Excellent cultural understanding and ability to clearly explain cultural concepts to avoid miscommunication.
• Medical terminology knowledge and the ability to reference medical glossaries during interpretation.
• Training Program in the interpreting and/or language industry is a plus.

You must submit a translated copy of your criminal background report/clearance in the onboarding process.
