For the Interpreters Out There ~

We all have taken/are taking different routes to achieve
certification and competency. For the interpreters working on this
milestone now, it would be great to have a list of the ways people
have gotten there. It would save the younger generation from feeling
like they are reinventing the wheel and give ideas for other avenues
to try - and having it in one place would make it convenient for all
involved.

I would love for people to send me, privately, their story - I will
do my best to remove all identifying information when the summary is
finished.

If you already have certification/ competency, what was successful
for you? What wasn’t? What was your situation as you were trying to
achieve this? What would you thought would you want to share with
the next generation?

If you are currently trying to achieve certification/ competency,
what are you doing now? What have you tried? What seems to be
working? What hasn’t been as successful? What thought would you want
to share with the more experienced generations?

The goal is to create a “menu” of sorts, and share that with the
community - and add to it as we find new ways of “making it.” And of
course share the words of wisdom between the generations.

Please send your story or any questions you might have to my e-mail
address, kemurphy00@yahoo. com.

Thank you!
