Interpreter Requirements

Here is what Language Line Services looks for when we recruit face to face and telephone interpreters:

• Educated, native, or near native proficiency in English and a non-English language
• Professional, pleasant phone presence
• Good customer service skills
• Good oral communication skills

In addition, here’s what we look for in our Work at Home interpreters

• A reliably quiet and professional environment during work periods. All types of background noise and distractions must be kept to a minimum (i.e. pets, TV, music, people, etc.)
• A dedicated phone line. The telephone must be a corded traditional telephone. No cordless, speakerphones, cellular/wireless or VoIP (e.g. Skype, Vonage). This line would be for incoming calls only and without extra services (i.e. call waiting, call forwarding). 
• A headset phone or corded headset with a mute button. The headset must be corded and plug into a corded telephone to allow you to work hands-free.
  
• Note-taking paper and writing utensils.
