A note from Frank Bucar in Duluth Minnesota

I received this inquiry regarding Slovenian linguists and although I did several assignments interpreting for the Slovenian military when I was with the Air National Guard, I would find it difficult to devote the necessary time for such an assignment at this time. You may have gotten this message yourself and, if not, you may have the means to pass this on to someone who may be interested.

Good afternoon,

I am a recruiter for Lionbridge Federal in Washington, DC and at the moment we are looking for freelance Slovene-English interpreters in the United States. I came across your contact information on the Internet and was wondering if you or someone you know would be interested in becoming a freelance interpreter. 

To give you a brief overview about our company, Lionbridge is an international company that works with several large government contracts as well as commercial clients. Our two largest contracts are with the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security. We recruit linguists to do onsite or telephonic interpretations for court assignments. 

Freelance interpreters are contracted part-time for need-based assignments. We don’t guarantee assignments until the interpreter has passed his/her Lionbridge Language Assessment and has cleared from a basic background check. The preliminary requirements for all Lionbridge interpreters are: 

• US citizen or Permanent Resident (green card holder)
• Lived in the US for 3 of the past 5 years 

Freelance interpreters take a brief over the phone language assessment for approximately 30 minutes. The assessment will test the interpreter¢s ability to interpret from the target language to English. Assessments are scheduled to be taken over the phone Monday thru Friday. Our pay rates vary depending on experience. 

If this is something that interests you, please send me a copy of your resume and any certificates you may have. I look forward to hearing from you. 

Thank you,
Karina Martinez, Recruiter
