Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your claimed experience is verifiable and directly connected to translation, editing, annotation or Danish NLP data work rather than general language proficiency.
A strong answer: Give a specific project, client or project type, the volume and kinds of Danish material handled, the standards or tools used and the deliverables you personally produced. Clarify what quality checks you owned and how revisions or disagreements were resolved.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by naming broad activities such as proofreading or translation without identifying the Danish content, their individual contribution or a concrete quality-control process.
