These are great!!! I'm preparing for my NIC interview and wanted more than just the few that the NIC Practice DVD has to offer. Thank you so much for doing these!
The first scenario specifically stated you are working for an interpreting agency. So, I would, politely, remind the interpreter that we work as a team of course using the articles form the CPC as well as reminding them the goal of our job is to provide a CLEAR interpretation for the client/clients. If I got any more resistance I would bring it up to the head of the agency. I would think this would be something that would have already been talked about especially working for an agency. Another thought would be to contact the agency before the assignment started and let them handle the situation with the other interpreter.
You are welcome...do get the book the other person posted. Also get with a study group which will help you to hear how others respond. Keep practicing and good luck for when you take the test.
I do have the book and it has been a wonderful study tool, it just helps seeing it in sign too if that makes sense. I've taken a webshop and have been studying with coworkers. Thanks again! :-)
Since not working as a team could hurt the interpretation, I feel the best solution would be to tell the interpreter that as the "on" interpreter I do the need the support when I am in the hot seat. For the short term, this would be best because I will get what I need. For the long term, this would be best because this interpreter would perhaps understand that we all need to work as a team when she works with other terps. In my ten years as an interpreter, direct approach with someone
I think the last one says that you are the only interpreter who is certified and the assignment requires a certified interpreter but you are close to the family involved. The one before I believe dealt more with the need to be certified. My 2 yr old was talking to me so I could be mistaken.
I would also write down in my notebook any possible message skews that could have been prevented had the team accepted any feeds. After the assignment I would speak with my team in private such as tenet 5.3 states And inform them politely I had attempted to feed them to prevent the message skews.
for scenerio number one, the problem is that my team and I are in disagreement about how to work together. This is going against CPC respecting your colleague and the consumer. The people who are most affected in this situation are the deaf client, the two working and interpreters, and possibly future interpreters working with this interpreter. The other team mate is trying to work out a system to work together. The other interpreter is wanting to do things on their own.
1st Scenario. The conflict is that the team does not want accept any feeds. According to CPC tenet on Professionalism 2.4 says that we should request support from our teams when needed to fully convey the message. As well as tenet 5.2 Work coopertaively with team members. The assignment is a medical assignment that might have technical and complicated concepts. If I'm noticing the message is becoming skewed I would feed the interpreter as needed as professional and courteous as possible...
If it were the daughter asking for the auditory information on her mother's end of the line, that would, I think, be a reasonable request of interpreting services. I think this information could be conveyed without providing personal opinions (2.5), and I think it could be done professionally: "There are several people sitting in the background passing a joint" or "The background is just a blank wall - I can't see anything other than your daughter".
For the second scenerio: I don't have any experience with VRS interpreting, so I don't know if there are any policies regarding this issue...but I think that under the cpc 2.3, it would be within the scope of my role as an interpreter to give her the visual information that she is missing because she doesn't have a vp (rendering the message faithfully).
the second scenario... is obvious. you are the interpreter and that's it!!!! it's not your job to tell the mother that info. that's not the interpreters business to tell ...period!!

Tenet 5.2
Work cooperatively with team members and provide support, monitoring the accuracy of the message

in the first scenario... that's a hard decision.// if i was the first interpreter to show up.. i'd be a little upset.
is not always comfortable but necessary. This is also my policy at work. At roundtable discussions, we have discussed this very topic. End to answer.
and how do you respond to tht?? if they don't wanna be "fed"... thenwhat??
the second scenario... is obvious. you are the interpreter and that's it!!!!
it's not your job to tell the mother that info.
that's not the interpreters business to tell ...period!!
