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 background includes verifiable language-production or annotation work rather than only general fluency in Spanish.
A strong answer: Give specific roles or projects, the kinds of texts or datasets involved, your responsibilities and how quality was reviewed. Distinguish direct linguistic work from adjacent project-management or teaching duties.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by naming employers or projects without explaining what they personally translated, edited, annotated or evaluated.
