What you’d do

  • Answer customer emails, chats or calls
  • Process orders, claims or content reviews
  • Translate short internal content
  • Follow quality and accuracy targets

How you get in

Apply to language processes at BPO/KPO and shared-service companies; selection is usually a language test, a typing or comprehension test, and an interview conducted partly in the language.
