Marketing Translators 2020-21
The QPL Marketing Team is seeking individuals fluent (reading, writing, spoken) in a variety of languages and dialects to provide translation of print, digital and audio materials used to promote library programs and services.
Queens is widely considered one of the most diverse counties in the United States with 160+ languages spoken in the borough.

REQUIREMENTS
This is an "on-call" project. Contact and assignments would be disseminated "as-needed" by the department. Individuals would be required to check their email on a regular daily basis and respond in a timely manner.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
Individuals 18 and older are subject to an investigative background check and must submit a confidentiality agreement to be considered for this position.
