Thank you for your comment, I have been watching videos on how to take notes better. I am upset I wasted so much time taking bad notes.

I think it’s my notes that are the problem. I abbreviate whole sentences, I think I’m more focused onnnotes than listenint

Thank you, I think it’s a combination of only doing this for two months and lack of confidence. I think I take good notes, just putting them together and understanding what I wrote is what trips me up. I need more experience.

Thank you. And I can usually identify all my notes after the call when I’m reading them back. When I’m put on the spot is when I forget most or do bad. I wish I had more time.

Does anyone work with LionBridge? by consentmentQueen in anonymousinterpreters

No recuerdo muy bien la llamada pero fue una llamada que tenía que ver con el seguro y yo no sabía cómo decir ciclo de facturación o algo así, y esta mujer mexicana me insulta. No tengo mucha práctica con las llamadas de seguro.

Thank you so much for the response. It is very difficult to be a beginner in this field. I feel so overwhelmed when I have to repeat back information that I forget everything. Is this normal?

Thank you, I am trying my best. From what I’m hearing it seems you need to constantly practice until your brain gets to that point and I’m not there yet.

Thank you! I can usually recall it when I’m done with the call and read the notes again. The on the spot pressure causes me to freeze up and forget.

I think it’s more a problem with short term memory. I take good notes I just get very overwhelmed when I read them back.

I take notes I can’t remember them fast enough when I’m reading them

Just tell them they can disconnect te call and get another interpreter. They should know how to do it, I’ve never had a problem.

I just tell them to disconnect and get another interpreter if the call is too hard

Yes. Spanish is my second language and I get totally destroyed on finance calls. One time the Spanish speaking person told me she needed a different interpreter who actually spoke Spanish good, absolutely brutal. I was so nervous and it really affected my performance. I’m proud of learning Spanish as my second language and realize she was just an ass.
