Guys and gals!
I need help locating a freelance ASL interpreter. It kind of boggles my mind that I'm having such a hard time finding one. All the good ones I used to know have gone to work for school districts or colleges, or went to work for Relays. I used to have a steady interpreter who could interpret my monthly staff meetings, but she hasn't been able to for the past 6 months because she is a college interpreter and her work schedule (which definitely must take precedence over my staff meetings because her college interpreting is her main source of income) has conflicted with the times for my staff meetings. At work, they've even tried to reschedule our staff meetings to accommodate her work schedule, but that hasn't even worked. Anyways, bottom line is .. I need to find new interpreter(s). I put ads on Craigslist, even on Facebook, etc., and no bites anywhere. We have a list-serv here in the Minneapolis area (where you can post job requests for interpreters) but whoever monitors that isn't keeping it updated - most of the email addresses are so outdated that they bounced back to me.
So, any ideas, anyone ??
