In the hiring world, experience is often seen as the golden ticket to landing a job. But what if we told you that experience isn’t everything? At GP Asia, we’ve built a team of highly skilled English-Mandarin interpreters, many of whom had zero prior experience in interpreting when they started.
Hiring for Potential, Not Perfection
Instead of searching for candidates with years of interpreting experience, we focus on language skills, adaptability, and a willingness to learn. Why? Because the ability to think on your feet, communicate clearly, and embrace challenges often outweighs a long list of past job titles.
Many of our interpreters come from different backgrounds—some were fresh graduates, others had careers in completely unrelated fields. What they all had in common was their bilingual skills and eagerness to grow.
Upskilling Through Training
We don’t just hire and hope for the best—we invest in comprehensive training to turn bilingual individuals into professional interpreters.
Our training program covers:
Interpreting Techniques – Learning how to think and speak in two languages at once. Industry-Specific Terminology – Medical, legal, and customer service terms to handle real-world conversations.
Call Handling Skills – How to manage fast-paced conversations with confidence.
Problem-Solving & Adaptability – Staying calm under pressure and delivering accurate interpretations.
By the end of training, our new hires are ready to take live calls with real clients, providing a valuable service while continuing to sharpen their skills on the job.
Investing in Skills Through Training
At GP Asia, we take an upskilling-first approach to hiring. Our structured training program is designed to transform bilingual individuals into professional interpreters. Key areas of focus include:
Fundamental Interpreting Techniques – Developing the ability to think and speak simultaneously in two languages.
Industry-Specific Terminology – Familiarization with essential medical, legal, and customer service terminology.
Effective Call Handling – Techniques for managing real-time conversations with accuracy and professionalism.
Problem-Solving and Adaptability – Strategies to remain composed under pressure while delivering high-quality interpretations.
Through this training, our interpreters gain the confidence and skills necessary to perform their roles effectively, even if they had no previous experience in the field.
Success Through a Skills-Based Approach
Our experience has shown that hiring for potential rather than perfection leads to long-term success. Many of our interpreters, despite having no prior industry experience, have grown into highly proficient professionals within months. This success reinforces our belief that continuous learning and development are key drivers of career growth.
