Individuals with strong bilingual skills who want to become telephone interpreters are needed to increase Language Line Services’ staff in its World Headquarters in Monterey, CA, and its Midwest center in Elk Grove, IL. 

No prior interpretation experience is required as Language Line Services provides an extensive orientation program accompanied by ongoing training and mentoring for professional fields such as banking, medical, insurance, financial and customer service interpreting for its employees.
