70: Leaving Interpreting? [Recorded Twitter Space]
2022/04/29
This is a recorded live audio conversation on Twitter Spaces. On 26 April, 2022, Alex D, Aleksander Szojda-Pallado and Urszula Rapacka explored if life after interpreting is possible. This job is often very personal. So what can we do after or in addition to interpreting? We believe we actually have a lot of skills beyond “just interpreting” that we can apply in various contexts.
