Is it possible for a 16 year old High School student to get a part time contracted job as a United Nation Translator? Provided that he is fluent in English, Japanese and could probably pass for Tagalog.
Yes, no, maybe so? Will I need to be evaluated thought proficiency tests?United Nation Translators Job?
Absolutely not. You would need a university degree, specialized training, certified competency (and simultaneous interpreting is far more difficult than mere translation), and plenty of experience before you could qualify for the UN. We do not start at the top, but at the bottom, and then we work our way up. Instead of sitting around bored, make sure you have top grades so you can go to a top college so you can have a top job some day. What you do now is just as important as what you dream of doing some day. It is all a continuum.United Nation Translators Job?
There is one thing you can start doing now to help prepare you for such a career. Turn to an all-news station on the radio and try to repeat back every word as the announcer goes along. It is hard to do even without the added factor of translating. But practice and you will get better at it.
