Abstract:

Telephone interpreting is a great way for practitioners to supplement other forms of income. Whether you’ve done a few assignments already, or you have not even started yet, this webinar will help you find your way.

We will go over the different providers that you can sign up with, tips for interpreting on the day, and tips for improving your skills over the long term. We will also have an extended question and answer session, so if there’s something you’re not sure about, you will get a chance to ask Michelle about it.
