      Full-Time Interpreter Interview

      Mar 24, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at CyraCom (New York, NY) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      First call to schedule a phone assessment. Second call for the assessment. Third call the offer call. My interview was entirely telephonic; they did not ask me for an in-person interview. I have applied for this position about five months ago, and at that time I have received an email saying the position if full. Now, out-of-blue I got their call a couple of day ago. They told me the applications are active for six months. Interview is easy if you are fluent in both languages. Basically they will ask you to babble for one minutes in six different topics (three in each language), then ask you to interpret a conversation between two people, and ask 20 word meanings randomly some in your language and some in English. If you hear in english you translate to your language and Vice versa. Basically, be ready to switch back and forth immediately as the word meanings will be asked randomly.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Be sure to read all the email about the assessment carefully. They will ask questions from there. You can ask them to repeat the question or to repeat a statement said in simultaneous interpretation task. Interpretation of a travel agent's call. Airport name/ flight numbers/ confirmation numbers were there, so be sure to have a pen and paper handy.
