<p><em><strong>The Portfolio Place</strong></em> serves two important purposes. It is a place for you to develop and store relevant and important information about yourself as a professional interpreter.&nbsp; It is also a place for gathering statistics and information about how interpreters make the journey from novice graduates&nbsp; to credentialed, experienced interpreters. As an interpreter building a resume, you can:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Create and store a comprehensive listing of your interpreting experiences</p> </li> <li> <p>Store several video samples of your interpreting work in a variety of settings</p> </li> <li> <p>Prepare a professional resume to send to potential employers, agencies, and conferences</p> </li> <li> <p>Send your resumes to interpreting agencies, school districts, and other employers</p> </li> </ul> <p>As an interpreter contributing to the knowledge and wisdom of our field you can share your experiences, confidentially, with a national database of information. This information is being collected so that we, as a field, can better understand the journey between graduation from an IEP to certification and credentialing. We want to find out what kinds of educational opportunities, workshops, mentoring, and life experiences people benefit from as they move from novice to experienced interpreters.</p> 2009-04-17T22:44:49Z about false 5 2009-05-21T16:23:07Z
