Thinking about immigration interpreting but worried it may be emotionally heavy? 💬

It's a fair question. Interpreters in asylum cases hear difficult stories. They also help people be heard in their own language when it matters most, and that's what keeps many of them in the field for decades.

Our new blog post covers what the work is really like and how interpreters stay steady during difficult assignments. 👇

Imagine describing the worst events of your life to a stranger, over a phone line from a detention facility, and having to do it through someone else's words.

That's the credible fear interview, an early screening in the U.S. asylum process. The officer can't understand the applicant's language, so every detail they weigh reaches them through the interpreter. A mistranslated date can look like a contradiction. A softened phrase can erase the detail that supports a claim.

The latest blog post breaks down how the interview works and why the interpreter's accuracy matters so much.

Freelance or staff interpreter — which one fits your life?
If you're bilingual and thinking about turning that skill into a career, this is one of the biggest forks in the road. Staff roles give you steady paychecks, benefits, and a set schedule. Freelance gives you flexibility, variety, and the potential to earn more per assignment — but you're running your own business too.
There's no wrong answer, and a lot of interpreters end up doing both.
