Whether you are providing interpretation services in person or remotely, adhering to a dress code is essential!
Since you’ll be working in various professional settings alongside other experts, it’s crucial to present yourself well—maintain good hygiene, wear tidy and appropriate clothing, and follow any dress guidelines set by the organization you’re supporting. Here are some key points to consider:
Business casual attire** is generally the most suitable choice. If working in a healthcare setting, also adhere to any specific hospital dress code requirements.
For women, skirts should be at least knee-length or longer, or opt for trousers or dress pants.
For men, wear trousers paired with a collared shirt—either long or short sleeve—or a polo.
Footwear should be comfortable, supportive, closed-toed, and quiet to avoid disruption.
Avoid bright colors and busy patterns that can be distracting.
Keep jewelry minimal and understated.
Fragrances should be avoided, especially during healthcare appointments, to respect sensitivities.
Remember, we are professionals. When arriving at an assignment—whether in person or via Video Remote Interpreting (VRI)—we are representing not only ourselves but also our organization and our colleagues in the field. Maintaining a professional appearance reflects our commitment to quality and respect for the clients we serve.
