After a week of finals (both given and interpreterd) I knew I needed to rethink this idea of a blog a day. While I do, I thought maybe it was time to do a little review on some of the books I recommend for any interpreter's library.
Years ago I had the privilege and opportunity to work with a lovely lady named Linda Humphries. She was then and still is a font of information on the professional side of interpreting. So much so, she published a book on the subject.
It is called "The Professional Sign Language Interpreter's Handbook."
As the web page says:
This all-in-one guide covers the gamut of issues related to interpreting and offers resources that can help you succeed in an interpreting career.
Discover the secrets of how to:
• Prepare for difficult assignments
• Find jobs that are right for you
• Set appropriate boundaries on the job
• Network successfully within the field
• Work effectively with other interpreters
PLUS, find valuable tips on:
• Getting hired
• Assignment intaking
• Setting your fee schedule
• Invoicing your clients
• Filing taxes
There is no way I will let you get away with just one book in you rlibrary, but if you can only buy one book this year, buy this one. You will learn things you didn't know you needed to ask questions about.
