Pros
I applied for a Burmese interpreter position after GLOBO posted that they were hiring. When I tried to apply, the system said my application was already on hold and instructed me to contact the recruiting team. The recruiter replied that he remembered our previous 30-minute Zoom interview from 2025.
During that interview, we discussed compensation of $0.55 per minute for connected call time, which I understood was acceptable. However, after the interview, I never received any follow-up and was left without any update.
When my application was reactivated, I was told the current rate was only $0.29–$0.35 per minute, which was significantly lower than what I understood we had previously discussed. As someone with over 8 years of professional Burmese-English interpreting experience and an ALTA Advanced Plus certification, I found this offer unreasonably low.
What I found most frustrating was that after telling me the company could not meet my compensation expectations, the recruiter continued asking me to schedule another Zoom meeting without first addressing the compensation issue. I declined because I didn’t want to spend more time in meetings when it was already clear we were not aligned on pay.
I understand that compensation can change based on business needs, but candidates also deserve professional communication, timely follow-up, and respect for their time. Unfortunately, that was not my experience.
Cons
Low paid, unprofessional. I don’t recommend here
