Definition of Occupation

Listens to statements made in one language, analyzes and renders them in another. Work may involve specialized vocabulary and procedures. As in the past, many work in (or under contract to) institutions such as United Nations agencies, US Departments of State, Commerce and Agriculture, international corporations, international conference organizers, escort services etc. In today's increasingly multicultural society, growing numbers now contract to courts, law firms, medical facilities and social service agencies; these two groups are called "global" and "domestic" in this profile.
