First time interpreter, plz help

Dear all,

I am going to be a temp interpreter tomorrow, one side is my boss and the other side is from Indian. They would mostly talk about business issues. It's my first time and I wonder if there is something special I should know before then? Please give me some advice, any advice. Thanks

Are you going to give an instantaneous interpretation ? It looks like it according to what you said. The correct mindset you should have is don't worry about wrong interpretation because either party won't know what you are telling them.

Also familiarise yourself with any 'jargon' that may be used in their areas of possible discussion, especially if the meeting will discuss anything technological.
