Interpreter

Aug 2013 - Mar 2015
This job entailed consecutive interpreting (Engl-Spa & Spa-Engl) over the phone in a fast-paced call center setting. It required mental agility, an excellent memory, highly developed interpersonal skills, customer service expertise and knowledge of specialized terminology from areas such as health and insurance, retirement and savings, and other client-specific benefits provided to employees of multinational corporations. Other responsibilities included the translation of official company documents and employee request letters containing highly sensitive information, call transcriptions, call summaries, data entry, and compliance with weekly coaching sessions and monthly continuing education courses designed to maximize employee productivity and minimize discontent with the company's unreasonably high evaluation standards and strict adherence policy.
