Best Practices for Interpreters (before, during and after the assignment)
Event Information
About this Event
Performing at an interpreting assignment is the highlight of interpreter's life. This is when we really show our level of professionalism.
We all take time to prepare for every assignment. Still, despite all the groundwork, unexpected things happen during an interpreting assignment, and we have to be in our top condition to react to them promptly and skillfully.
The interpreter’s work does not finish with the end of an assignment, though. There are forms, invoices and records that await attention. Until these are dealt with, the job is still “hanging over”you.
During this webinar, we will cover the most important “dos” and “don’ts” to be kept in mind before, during and after an interpreting assignment:
Before:
- Getting all details right
- Preparation: research, terminology, briefing, etc
During:
- Establishing the protocol
- Impartiality and Professionalism
- Dealing with challenges
After:
- Giving and receiving feedback
- Keeping track of attendance and expenses
- Invoicing and following up on payment
