I applied online. I interviewed at Elite Asia (Jakarta) in Nov 2024
Interview
The interview process for a freelance English-to-Indonesian translator at Elite Asia generally begins with a review of your resume and portfolio to assess your translation experience and language proficiency. Qualified candidates are then invited for a pre-test to evaluate translation accuracy, grammar, spelling, and familiarity with industry-specific terminology. This test might include content from chosen industries, such as legal, marketing, or healthcare, to assess adaptability across diverse fields. If successful, you may proceed to a virtual interview, where HR discusses your availability, daily translation capacity, familiarity with CAT tools, and any client-specific requirements.
I was asked to translate and submit the given texts within a few days. They emailed me and said I was selected as their freelance translator after a month of my submission.
They sent me some documents and asked me to translate them in 3 days as the test and it was pretty easy to be honest. What to translate depends on the specialty of yours indicated in the application form.
