Empowering Students with Resources

To ensure students had everything they needed, we made our booth informative and approachable. Posters with detailed descriptions of available positions made it easy for them to understand the roles we’re hiring for. Additionally, we put QR codes on the table to allow students to access job postings, sign-up links, and resume submission. This helped to streamline the entire application process and allow for more time to speak with students and create stronger connections with them.

Just like the previous years, the response was phenomenal! A long line of students visited our booth, and many eagerly signed up and submitted their resumes. Their engagement and excitement were absolutely overwhelming! It’s such a special moment for us to see the passion of these bright students and have the opportunity to be a part of their career.

Building Genuine Connections

The best part of the day was the meaningful conversations we had with the students. Many expressed their interest in beginning their professional journey in our company.  It was a privilege to witness their passion and to know we played a small part in helping them take the next steps in their careers.

In general, the energy of the career fair is always so powerful and wonderful to experience. Seeing the students excitedly looking at the vast potential from where to jumpstart their career is not only heartwarming but nostalgic. It’s our absolute pleasure to share in their energy and enthusiasm and help the beginnings of their careers.

A Heartfelt Thank You

As we reflect on this wonderful experience, we are already getting so excited for next year’s career fair. We can’t wait to continue making connections with this wonderful community next year as well!

1. Tap into any bilingual background you may have. Most interpreters come from families where more than one language is spoken.

2. Perform well in high school, especially in English composition, foreign languages, and computers skills. Keep the option of being an exchange student open.

3. Go to college and obtain a bachelor’s degree. Majoring in a foreign language isn’t entirely necessary, but at least having a strong study in interpretation with one focused language is strongly recommended.

4. There are two basic forms of interpretation: consecutive and simultaneous. Besides these, conference interpreters could train in technical or scientific fields. These classes are offered at many colleges and universities.  Monterey Institute of International Studies is among the most famous in the United States, where the majority of us at Monterey Language Services are from.

5. Think about getting a master’s degree if considering a specialized interpretation field.

6. Think about getting certified. Many places such as the American Translator’s Association, the National Board of Certifications for Medical Interpreters, State courts and Federal courts have many legal interpretation certification programs in many languages.

7. Get a translation job for a company or business as your launch pad to a career.

8. Always network with other interpreters and employers.
