I was providing translation for newly coming Korean parents who have problems communicating with school faculty members and don't understand course materials for their children. How should I reflect this on my resume


This is known as "escort interpreting".

Identify a specific hurdle you overcame with your language skills ("I interpreted in Korean and English for # individuals, facilitating cross-cultural communication on the education system").

Identify your comfort level, e.g. trade negotiations or accompanying visitors on errands/cultural outings?

Travelling businesspeople and dignitaries regularly need escort interpreters in a wide variety of situations. You might find leads at the KOCHAM or the US Korea Business Council. All the best.
