The term "Jack-of-all-trades" should not be
applied to a professional in the language industry. We wouldn't hire a
zoologist to rebuild a '55 Chevy, and we wouldn't hire a cosmetologist
to perform neurosurgery on a newborn.
Working with an interpreter familiar with the
event's field of specialty is crucial to the success of your
event.
All interpreters are selected based on their
education and experience in the subject matter. The more targeted the
interpreter, the better your audience's understanding and response will
be.
