Korean Interpreter

Concurrent live interpretation using Zoom (via computer) plus a phone with headset. This is a part\-time position as\-needed to support our live events with Korean Simulcasts. **THIS JOB REQUIRES MULTITASKING. DO NOT APPLY IF YOU CANNOT PERFORM LIVE SIMULTANEOUS TRANSLATION WHILE KEEPING UP IN WEB\-BASED STAFF CHAT.** You will be expected to listen to a live English broadcast of a virtual forum in one ear on Zoom, and deliver concurrent translation using your Phone with a hands\-free headset. You must have technical proficiency with computers and web browsers. We provide training on the web\-based platform, and a hands\-free headset if needed. **States TTHM Can Hire From:** TTHM is registered to employ team members in ONLY the following states: NC, WV, AR, TX, FL, CO, WY, AZ If you live in any other state, DO NOT apply to this job posting. **Concurrent Translation Method:** Interpreters will need to have a hands\-free headset with microphone connected to their phone to deliver translation AND a headset to listen to the live forum broadcast via Zoom on a computer. Some clients provide substantial scripting for their events, while others provide very little scripting at all. Interpreters will need to listen to a live virtual forum using the Zoom app on a laptop or desktop computer. Interpreters then deliver their live concurrent translation using a phone with reliable service and a quality hands\-free headset. **YOU MUST BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO A LIVE FORUM WHILE DELIVERING YOUR TRANSLATION SIMULTANEOUSLY.** Simultaneous translation requires constant interpretation while listening to a live English\-language event. Interpreters must be connected to the English\-language broadcast on Zoom, while delivering Korean\-language translation using their phone. Interpreters must also use a web\-based chat on their computer for communicating with their interpreting partner and with TTHM event managers. TTHM pairs two interpreters for most events, and translators communicate using the web\-based chat to switch live interpretation about every fifteen minutes. Events typically last one hour with a 15 minute setup and sound check period before the live broadcast. You will be paid $125 total for the 15 minutes of setup and for one hour of live translation, typically with a partner. Interpreters receive some scripted material to live\-translate, but some segments of each forum will be unscripted and require real\-time live translation. **Joining the Zoom Webinar to Listen to English:** 2\-3 Days Prior to the Event you will receive an instructional email from TTHM containing a link to join a Zoom event as an Interpreter. Connect Headphones to your computer so that you can hear the English broadcast without the English broadcast being heard on your interpretation line. You will need to listen to the English broadcast on headphones through Zoom, and then use a phone with a quality headset (boom mic is the best) to deliver your interpretation.\* \*If you
