The monthly salary of some excellent language experts who have long-term cooperation with Tencent can exceed $3000. For a full-time, Overtime Pay is eligible.

▼ Your (1) work time for Tencent, (2) work experience, (3) Tencent typewritten test result, and (4) Tencent interview evaluations impact the determination of your salary package or hourly rates profoundly. This is also the reason why it is currently impossible to decide or estimate your compensation. Although our company is responsible for your attendance checks, salary payout, performance management, etc., the evaluation of your work performance by the Tencent Games localization team can directly determine whether to terminate the <Independent Contractor Agreement> immediately.
● How to Apply
▼1.Upload your CV and fill in your E-mail address through this Tencent Questionnaire link:
https://wj.qq.com/s2/17150853/5eeb/
2.Once your CV is selected, you need to complete a typewritten test that HRBP sends you.
3.Attend two rounds of online interviews with Tencent interviewers after you pass the test.
4.Once you pass all interviews, you need to confirm your compensation, sign an <Independent Contractor Agreement> with our company, and then start working.
【ATTENTION】
1.This test is merely aimed at identifying your ability and attitude in translation and proofreading which are highly similar to the future Game Localization work. Besides, your test is ONLY accessible to the corresponding HR team and officers in work groups, which is NEVER used for any other purpose. Thus, this test is NOT compensated. If you do NOT want to complete all questions, I highly recommend a quit to you; many candidates complete tests, and only the ones with better test results and richer experience in game localization and translation can proceed with the interviews.
2. Usually, there are two types of questions, namely translation and proofreading; a few target language tests only examine your translation ability. The total number of words that need to be translated and proofread is around 1000; a few target language tests may exceed or fall short of 1000 words. The Tencent-prefer and mature language experts for game localization can complete the test well within 1.5 to 3.5 hours.
