Freelance English-Japanese interpreter in Japan
I'm looking for a freelance/part time English-Japanese interpreter that could perform interpretation duties for my meetings in Japan.
I'm the founder of a mobile app company and we've developed an auto-translation chat app called BiiB (https://biib.me/ja). It works like LINE or WhatsApp except that it can automatically translate messages from Japanese to other languages with near-perfect accuracy using AI.
I'm looking to meet Japanese employers and migrant workers agencies in Japan that can consider using our app to communicate with their foreign workers. I understand foreign workers in Japan don't necessarily have high proficiency in Japanese language. Some only master the lowest N1 language proficiency level), especially blue-collar low-skilled workers.
Thus, I believe our messaging app can dramatically assist Japanese employers and their migrant workers to communicate effectively. It also comes with voice-to-text feature which makes communication even easier!
The responsibilities for this job are below.
* Arrange meetings with migrant workers agencies within specific city or prefecture in Japan.
* Arrange meetings with Japanese employers who hire migrant workers within specific city or prefecture in Japan.
* Attend the meetings with our founder and perform English to Japanese intepretations during the meetings.
* Follow-up after the meetings via call, email or messaging app.
We shall be traveling via a rented car to all meetings locations. I have an international driver's license and have drove in Japan many times (Kyushu, Aichi, Hokkaido). Lunch/dinner/coffee shall be provided.
If you're interested in this position, please kindly send your English-written resume to melvin@biib.me and please include your desired pay. We can pay based on hourly or daily rate. We can pay by cash.
