Job lead was found on Craigslist. This employer is hiring through ODesk. If you want to apply to the job, please use my ODesk link found on the upper right hand side of my blog (the huge ad that says "freelancers needed", you can't miss it!) to sign up and make a profile at ODesk.
A personal PR firm based in Northern California is seeking skilled, detailed US-based editors experienced in fact-checking and editing web copy. This is a remote contract position so you will not be required to relocate or commute; however, all accepted candidates will be expected to interview by phone and must be willing to commit to a flexible 40-hour workweek.
As an editor, you will work directly with the firm's team of editors and writers on polishing professional biographies for executives and high-profile clients.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate the ability to catch minute factual and grammatical errors as well as possess excellent writing, organization, and communication skills. (When responding, please list the three things you notice the most as an editor in the first line of your cover letter.)
All candidates must have prior proofreading, fact-checking, and editing experience as well as possess a proficiency in The Chicago Manual of Style, online research, MS Word and Excel, and Google docs. An undergraduate or graduate degree in English or a certificate in editing is preferred but not required. Experience editing finance, legal, or medical copy is a plus.
We manage and pay our team on the oDesk platform. Please apply online at https://url.odesk.com/ocibg. If you don't have an oDesk contractor account, please create one at www.odesk.com. Please respond with a succinct cover letter and ensure you have completed the Education and Employment History sections on the Resume tab of your oDesk contractor profile.
