The Contractor’s Guide to Medical Interpreting: From Qualifications to Assignment
Section 3: The Interview Process
It’s important your resume and application stand out during the interview process. Here are a few recommendations directly from our recruiters: Keep Your Resume Updated When you are not actively seeking clients or employment, it’s easy to let your resume become outdated. Highlight your unique interpreter experiences on paper to help recruiters get to know you better and proactively create a positive impression. Preparation is Key During the interview process, you and the company are getting to know each other. Proactively researching the company not only helps weed out opportunities that don’t align with your values, but also prepares you for an interview. • Prompt questions: Conducting research enables you to ask questions about the company values and contractor expectations. Add these additional questions to your arsenal to show your engagement. Showcase Your Professionalism It’s important to demonstrate your professionalism. Professionalism begins with your interview set-up and the way you present yourself.
• Look the part: Dress for success and wear professional clothing.
• Professional behavior: Stay focused on the conversation at hand. Medical interpreters are required to be hyper-attentive to ensure a patient’s health and safety. Highlight these skills.
