Working for OECD

The official languages of the organisation are French and English. Interpreters must be able to work both ways on bilingual meetings. In addition, other languages (European, Slavic or Far-Eastern) may be used as required. Meetings of the ECMT and the IEA frequently use German, in addition to English and French. The Conference Service makes extensive use of freelance interpreters both for meetings with the official languages of the organisation, as well as for other languages. The Conference Service also provides interpretation for meetings outside headquarters assigning staff or freelance interpreters as required.

What to do the first time you are recruited by OECD

1) Bring along ID (passport or identity card) which will be required to obtain admission to the premises.

2) You have been recruited by phone. You will not receive a contract, but shortly after your first assignment at OECD you will receive a letter of engagement valid for the whole of the current year. You must sign the enclosed copy and return it to Conference Services.

3) On arrival you should report to the office of Conference Services (NBAT RC95) to complete the necessary administrative formalities:

· complete a curriculum vitae
· indicate your choice of insurance - Caisse de Prévoyance des Interprètes de conférence (CPIC) or Caisse de Prévoyance des Interprètes et traducteurs (CPIT)
· indicate whether you wish to be engaged as a self-employed or salaried worker. If you are self-employed, you must provide proof of your membership of a Caisse des Professions Libérales.
· Give the details of your bank account (bring along a Relevé d'Identité Bancaire RIB). Normally, payment is made on the 26th of the month following your engagement.

4) You will receive the documents for your meeting if they have been made available to Conference Services in advance.

5) The day before your assignment, call the answering machine after 18H00 to check the details of the meeting to which you have been assigned (01 45 20 53 52).
