ManpowerGroup Public Sector, a ManpowerGroup Company (NASDAQ: MAN), provides services to the US Government and the Private Sector. We are looking to hire native speakers of CANTONESE to work from home as full-time Phone/Video Interpreters. No previous experience as an interpreter is required although it will be helpful to have a good command of vocabulary in one or more of the following areas: Healthcare, Government, Insurance, Financial, Travel & Hospitality, General Business, Law Enforcement, Court, 911 and other such industries. However, it is not a requirement to have a background in these areas. Interpreters are responsible for handling calls on demand and accurately interpreting the meaning of conversations between CANTONESE and English speakers. Entry-level candidates willing to learn, are encouraged to apply.

There are numerous benefits to this opportunity:

  • Full-time status for any interpreter who works a minimum of 30 hours per week
  • Benefits from the company for all full-time employees including health and 401K
  • Up to five (5) weeks of PAID professional training provided by the company before conducting any phone/video interpretation
  • Provision of a laptop and headset by the company at no cost to the interpreter
  • After successfully completing the company’s interpreter training, they send all full-time interpreters the laptop and necessary hardware, so there are no out-of-cost expenses to the interpreters
  • The ability to work a weekly set schedule with set hours
  • Flexibility in terms of the days and times available for work
  • Some of the positions require the interpreter to work one or both weekend days a week
  • The company has multiple openings depending on what works best with each individual’s schedule
  • CANTONESE interpreters are paid $18.00 per hour (part-time) and $20.00 per hour (full-time) regardless of how many calls they receive
  • Some companies pay only for the minutes interpreters are actually on the phone interpreting on a call
  • The ability to put your linguist skills to direct use assisting other CANTONESE nationals throughout the United States and to help first responders (firefighters, police, EMTs, etc.), medical professionals (doctors, nurses, pharmacists, etc.), financial specialists (bankers, etc.), insurance specialists, and others

While these positions only involve spoken interpretation (no written translation is required), we encourage individuals with other professional linguistic experience to apply, including foreign language instructors.

**Because this is a remote position, it is essential to ensure a quiet and secure environment.**

Qualifications

  • Fluency in CANTONESE and English.
  • Familiarity with CANTONESE culture.
  • Ability to find the best way of communicating with someone who has limited English proficiency.
