As sign language interpreters, we encounter numerous challenges in our work and must find ways to navigate various stressors. Little is known about job satisfaction within the interpreting field, yet we are personally impacted by the work we do every day. Utilizing the framework of Demand-Control Theory and the Theory of Work Adjustment, participants will explore personal work values and preferences and will discuss decision-making for choosing employment within the field of interpreting.
