The hiring team needed to interview specialized electrical engineers for roles in Japan. Because the discussions involved complex technical topics like solar power and grid maintenance, they needed to ensure nothing was lost in translation during the high-stakes evaluation process.
Approach/Process
I prepared by studying the specific technical terms used in solar energy and electrical systems. I also reviewed the candidates' professional backgrounds beforehand so I could accurately translate their specific work experiences and skills.
Solution
I acted as the communication bridge during the interviews. I made sure the interviewers understood the candidates' technical expertise and that the candidates could fully express their qualifications in a language they were comfortable with.
Impact
My support ensured a smooth, clear hiring process, resulting in a successful job placement for one of two candidates.
