Interpreter Interview Questions

1,886 interpreter interview questions shared by candidates

I really didn't have a question that surprised me or was too difficult to answer. They mostly wanted to know how you would handle "sticky" situations you might encounter in the field as an Interpreter. Just be forthright so that they are able to best place you with which situation. Some people would be better qualified to work in a school setting whereas others might be better off interpreting for business managers

The test over the phone was not very complicated: a women wakes up at the hospital after having a seizure at home and she talks with the doctor and you have to interpret for her from/to English to/from your working language The interview with the manager Ruiz: General questions about your background, nothing tricky. Very polite and professional.
