Just joined and looking to chat to people regarding proofrea

Postby cla1982 » Tue Mar 09, 2010 10:42 pm

Hi everyone!

I have recently undertaken a proofreading course, and cannot wait to get started pursuing this line of work. Anyway, I'd really like to make contact with people within the profession to just have a general chat about things - I am boring my friends and family senseless with my enthusiasm! But who can blame me - I have spent the last 7 years in miserable, low-paying admin jobs, I have been rejected from jobs for being 'overqualifed' due to my degree, and I've finally found something that finally suits me! I'm really excited about just starting out, and it would be nice to talk to like-minded people for general chats/ advice etc. It doesn't matter how experienced or not you are, just give us a message, it would be great to hear from you!

Hi, cla.

I think you've probably come to the right place. But then again . . .

I enjoy the odd chat about proofreading myself. What's on your mind?
