What's wrong with going to an ordinary company (not a translation company) to interview for the position of "English translator"?

Every company's interview is different, so it is difficult to generalize.

In addition to understanding your personal professional ability, the interview pays more attention to your experience and personality.

In my experience, non-translation companies usually ask two questions when recruiting translators:

Translation experience and ability in related industries or majors.

It may involve your professional background, ability test, allowing you to introduce yourself in English, etc. If you need to do interpretation or translation, you usually have a test, even listening. )

What do you think of this position and your personal situation?

Even experienced job seekers can't correctly predict what questions will be asked during the interview. If you are a novice, you may wish to make more preparations from the following aspects:

Learn more about the specific requirements of job application. After all, the purpose of recruitment is to find the right person and find ways to present their own characteristics in line with the job. It is also necessary to have a certain understanding of the background culture of the enterprise.

Be prepared to introduce yourself, both in Chinese and English, avoid formulaic introduction, try to be close to life, highlight features and introduce yourself concisely. 200 words in Chinese and 500 words in English are almost enough (unless otherwise required during the interview).

Relax, try not to be nervous, and pay attention to interview etiquette and details. Anyway, the worst result is that you can't do the job. Worst-case scenario is nothing to worry about.

I wish you success ~ ~ ~
