Make Your Experience Easy to Understand

- Your strengths: explain the skills and qualities that make you a strong interpreter.
- Your experience: mention sectors, topics, clients and assignment types you know well.
- About you: write a short, professional introduction that feels personal.

- Your languages: make your language pairs clear and easy to find.
- Your rates: choose rates that reflect the quality and availability of your work.
Choosing Your Rates
Tolk2Go uses minimum rates to help prevent a race to the bottom. Your rates should reflect your professional experience and the value you bring to each assignment.
Remember that customers often consider availability, location and travel costs together with the hourly rate. A competitive rate is important, but it is not the only factor in a successful booking.
Your Privacy Is Important
Tolk2Go asks for information that helps customers find and book the right interpreter. Different information is visible at different stages of the process.
Public profile information helps customers choose an interpreter. Contact and administrative information is handled more privately and is only shared when appropriate for the booking or required for internal administration.
Professional profile information such as your photo, voice recording, language pairs, rates, experience and reviews.
Relevant contact information that allows the customer and interpreter to coordinate the confirmed assignment.
Personal, payment and administrative information needed by Tolk2Go for account management and processing.
Customers see the distance from the assignment location rather than your full private address.
