The interpreting field is fairly novel and I find the general public is unaware about the way interpreter book work. This knowledge can help you successfully seek and secure ASL interpreters to ensure your Deaf family, colleagues, and/or employees have equitable access to everything! Transcript: When people find out I am a 1099 contracted interpreter, the next question I’m asked is, well how do you find work? There’s one main way interpreters find work. They contract with interpreting agencies. These agencies have two types of contracts with private businesses. The first contract is long term contracts. They make a business arrangement with private tech business or in elementary school. The second type of contract is short term. These are usually for events like County Fair concerts, some kind of community event. The agency will email blast every interpreter to fill any request they’ve received. The cool part is we interpreters have no limit to how many agencies we can sign up with. I’m signed up with 7, 8, 9, 11. I don’t know. just so many agencies I can’t even count!
