Experience

The job postings are false. You'll still be getting paid minimum wage after years here. You're certifications are irrelevant to your pay because they are irrelevant to the company. This is why they don't require any training or certification when hiring their interpreters. If anything, that might make it so that they do not hire you. They have you shadow someone for a week (40 hour work week) and pass that off as your '40 hours of required training' before having you interpret in medical settings with people making life and death decisions. Average national pay for a certified interpreter is $60,000 a year. Most you'll make here is $25,000. Kids flipping burgers at fast food place make more. Get certified and contract your work out. Do not fall for these pyramid scheme interpreter agencies. Keep sharing the truth.

It is all controlled chaos managing the repeated cycle of taking on new aspiring interpreters and those who quickly see what is happening and leave sooner than later. They crack the whip on current interpreters and gaslight them non-stop with the pretense of having them grovel for work security. You can be flawless at your job, but they'll find something to keep you on your toes. Toxic workplace.

Pay interpreters by certification and experience. Twenty years of ad-hock off of the street interpreting is just that. Legitimate experience begins after certification when you do thing legally and by the book.

The interview was nothing more than the basic everyday language/s you used growing up. Nothing technical or medical, just conversations.

The average pay for a certified interpreter in the U.S is $60,000 a year. The most you will make at this company regardless of years and experience is $25000 a year

Every office I visited was 100% Latino staffed. They might want other language speakers for remote positions, but don't want them anywhere near their offices.

It used to be the false promises of possible pay raises based on performance, certification and time with the company, but that was all 100% lies.
