What Your Skills Should Be:
• Naturally, your English skills must be top notch
• Editing is where your education matters: we would love it if you graduated with a focus on linguistics
• Demand is higher for people who had previously worked as an editor, or at a similar position (copywriter, translator, etc.)
• You must know how to use a computer. A valuable asset would be if you know how to work with special editing and translating software such as ProZ, Multitran, and so on
• As an editor, you need to possess high concentration, in order to be able to focus on details, and thoroughly read through every line of a text
Flexible timming for students.
But you still have to give your time to office.
