Part Time Proofreader / Copy Editor for Dallas Business

Techcorp, a company based in Dallas, is looking for Proof Reader/Editor for many of their company’s business communication needs:

Proofreader/ Editor needed to review non-technical newsletter, websites, white papers, etc. for spelling, punctuation and syntactical errors for a Dallas-based professional business organization. Great chance to gain business editing experience.
– College degree with English or journalism major.
– Prior or current experience doing proofing/ editing of non-technical writing for other business firms.
– Provide at least 2 recent references where you’re providing or provided such services.
– Provide samples of editing (before and after work) you’ve done.

We’re not looking for someone to over-edit, change our writing style — just to spot and clean up clear grammatical or syntactical errors. Applicants are invited to demonstrate their skill by editing the following (you can do so in a Word doc with “tracking on). Remember, less is better. Successful candidates will provide MINIMAL editing, not try to turn my copy into Shakespeare:)

“Do you really know whom your customer advocates or promoters are – the ones that are willing and even eager to say good things about you to buyers or the media? Many firms assume they’re most prolific buyers are their best references. If you have a reference program, you might assume these customers are the ones in the reference program, right? But not necessarily. In fact, there’s a real chance that’s not the case.

That’s what Susan Kaiser, at the time Vice President, Customer Value and Reference Service at TechCorp, found to her astonishment when she took over the firm’s global customer reference program (keep in mind that TechCorp is one of the smartest software firms in the world). How could such a thing happen and how did she find out?

TechCorp had been diligently measuring Net Promoter Scores1 (NPS) for its business units by the time she arrived. Analyzing the data from the NPS surveys along with data from the firm’s reference programs, she found that, remarkably, very few promoters identified in the surveys were actually in the firm’s reference program – despite the fact that had told the firm explicitly that they would be very likely to recommend the firm to a friend or colleague! All TechCorp needed to do was ask. For the vast majority of their promoters, they never had.”
