Speak at your natural pace but be aware that the interpreter must hear and understand a complete thought before signing it. The interpreter will let you know if you should repeat or slow down. Also, taking turns in an interpreted conversation may be different from what you are used to. This is due to the slight time delay required for the interpretation process.

Tips for Using Interpreters
Select each question below to discover key tips for how to leverage interpreters during the interviewing process.
Look at and speak directly to the Deaf person. Do not say “tell her” or “tell him”. The Deaf person will be watching the interpreter and glancing back and forth at you.
Usually, it is best to position the interpreter next to you (the hearing person), opposite the Deaf person. This makes it easy for the Deaf person to see you and the interpreter in one line of vision.
Meeting with the interpreter fifteen to thirty minutes before the assignment begins is helpful. It is especially helpful at large conferences or meetings where a fair amount of participants are expected. If possible, in advance of the assignment, provide the interpreter with materials such as a brief outline, technical vocabulary, questions to be asked, or a sample of the job description.
Interpreters and hearing speakers should avoid standing with their backs to windows, bright lights, or busy colorful designs. These backgrounds make it difficult to see and receive a clear message. A solid, dark colored backdrop or background is recommended.
The interpreter is present to facilitate communication. If you have questions about the Deaf person or sign language, ask the Deaf person directly and the interpreter will interpret your questions.
Yes. The interpreter is one of the best resources about the interpreting field; however, all questions should be asked before or after the interpreting/transliterating assignment so that the interpreter is then finished with the actual interpreting/transliterating and is free to converse with you.
