50 phone interpreter interview questions shared by candidates

Test checked after you done with text, there's no person assisting you, everything is pre-recorded. Which is kinda meh, because when you get nervous you may need several attempts to record answer, etc. (ig we all get nervous during interviews and tests even if it's just you and your laptop). Question starts from basic ones, tell about yourself, your culture, then you listen to the "situation" you have to imagine yourself in and answer questions.

If you speak English and your language well, you should be no problem. The only difficulty was they only give you 2 times to listen to whatever should be translated. So make sure you have pen and paper ready to write down any date or number.
