 | I think I want to pursue an editing/proofreading type job after college. From what I understand, editors usually give directions & assignments which isn't what i'm looking for. I want to proofread documents for typos, grammatical errors, etc. But I think to be an editor you have to work your way up to the position. Can I be just a proofreader & get that job right out of college?

 | I recently applied for a position in my company as a proofreader. I don't have any official experience in proofreading but I have a knack for spotting things others would'nt. I don't know the salary bracket this position falls under but I need some suggestions or tips on negotiating if it doesn't match my requirements.

| I am about to complete my manuscript after countless revisions and drafts. I believe I am ready to send it to an agent. Should I send it to an agent without hiring a proofreader? Or do some agents or publishers perform the proofreading for you?

I am looking for something that can be done at night or on weekends when I get some free time. I know these jobs are out there but its tough weeding them out amongst the "get rich quick" scams. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

| Every so often I see jobs advertised for proofreading, but am unable to in any way prove that I would be worth employing despite studying etymology, grammar, punctuation, the works in my free time as a hobby and being very skilled and knowledgeable in those areas. Circumstances completely rule out my getting any kind of recognisable qualification any more, so I need another way to prove to potential employers that I would be competent at the job.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
