Interpreter with a criminal background
Im going make this easy to explain and be completely transparent, i have a love for sign language, my parents and step parents are deaf it also runs in my family.
I’ve always wanted to be a sign language interpreter when I was a little boy, I’m 19 now, just graduated high school, but when I was 17 I had got in trouble with the law.
1st degree felony- (Manufacturing and delivering)——- I got put on DEFERRED probation for 8 years, but I wanted to know anyone’s experiences with people who have a background being interpreters or anyone who is an interpreter with a background.
I live in Texas so laws apply different here, but I’m thinking about going to college for this career, I guess I’m just worried about my background but I know I can do it if I fly straight.
Questions:
And who do you work for and how was the hiring process?
Can you still work for the government?
How did you prove that you have changed to your employer?
I feel like this is a long shot but worth a shot?
