From the outside looking in, a career as a conference interpreter can often seem glamorous. Perhaps it's the travel and nights in hotels around the world. Or maybe it's the sense of being part of an exclusive community of interpreters working at high-stakes meetings. It might also be the fact that conference interpreters tend to be paid more. Episode 63 of The ATA Podcast is your chance to find out what it's really all about. You'll learn about the necessary skills and training to the ins and outs of a typical day to the types of clients you'll encounter as Host Veronika Demichelis interviews conference interpreter Andrew Gillies for this installment of Inside Specialization.

As many in the U.S. gear up to head back to school, Episode 62 of The ATA Podcast steps away from association activities to examine translation and interpreting education. Guest Host Michael Schubert interviews ATA members Alaina Brandt and Jamie Hartz to discover how well their T&I courses prepared them for the transition to careers, what they wish they had known before they graduated, and what other alternative career paths current students with a T&I degree might consider. There's a lot to learn from Alaina and Jamie's personal stories, even for those of us who've been out of school for many, many years!
