Spanish-English Simultaneous Interpreters

Spanish - English Simultaneous Interpreters

We are looking for experienced simultaneous interpreters who want to join an international company and be a great help to the community.

Do you have experience working as a simultaneous interpreter? Do you enjoy what you do? Would you like to be part of a dynamic team with solid possibilities for professional growth? If so, we want to hear from you!

Job Overview:

The interpreter provides simultaneous interpretation for a variety of on-site conferences, including but not limited to medical, artificial intelligence, educational (K-12 and university courses), and other types of events. The interpreter ensures effective communication by converting spoken language accurately and fluently from Spanish to English and vice versa. A commitment to providing exceptional customer experience, maintaining confidentiality, and fostering a spirit of teamwork within the booth is essential for this position.

Simultaneous interpretation involves interpreting the speaker's words in real-time as they speak, often using specialized equipment such as headsets, booths, and microphones to ensure that the audience receives the interpretation almost instantly (e.g. United Nations, Grammys, Oscars, among other international events). In contrast, consecutive interpretation requires the interpreter to wait until the speaker has finished a segment of their speech before interpreting, typically resulting in pauses and a more segmented flow of communication (e.g. medical appointments, social services calls, etc.).

While simultaneous interpretation allows for uninterrupted presentations, consecutive interpretation can offer more accuracy and clarity since the interpreter has time to process and render the speech.
