Sample interview questionsWhat pharmacovigilance document types have you translated or reviewed?I have experience working with safety and clinical-regulatory materials such as adverse-event narratives, serious adverse event reports, patient case documentation, clinical reports, protocols, and product information. I follow approved terminology and client instructions closely because accuracy can affect patient-safety reporting.

How do you maintain quality when post-editing machine-translated safety content?

I review the source and target sentence by sentence, correcting terminology, meaning, grammar, omissions, and formatting. I do not assume machine output is reliable, especially for negations, dates, medical abbreviations, dosage details, and event seriousness.

How would you handle a non-extendable deadline while preserving translation quality?

I assess volume and complexity immediately, plan the work in focused stages, and use approved CAT resources efficiently. If I identify a source ambiguity or terminology issue, I raise a concise query early while continuing with unaffected content to avoid delaying delivery.

What is your approach to terminology consistency across recurring pharmacovigilance projects?

I use client glossaries, translation memories, reference documents, and project-specific style guides. I also verify recurring terms and abbreviations in context, documenting justified terminology decisions so that similar cases remain consistent.

How have you used XTM or similar CAT tools in your translation workflow?

I have used CAT environments to leverage translation memory, termbases, QA checks, segment status controls, and bilingual review workflows. I ensure tags and formatting are preserved, resolve QA warnings appropriately, and complete final checks before delivery.
