[JIF2015] Agency AMA: What They Really Think

Agency AMA: What They Really Think

Most interpreters meet and actually have a substantial conversation with their agency rep only once in their career: when they sign up. Because we rarely ever have an opportunity to talk to each other, it is difficult to for us to know how they view us and what they really want. Panelists of this session—agency reps—will present their opinions from the employer’s perspective on a wide variety of issues including recruiting and remuneration. They will also answer any and all questions from the audience to the best of their abilities. In true AMA fashion, this is a no-holds-barred session! Don’t miss this rare opportunity to communicate with your “customer” on a personal level.

*AMA: Ask me anything
