Funny, I have applied for so many jobs to no avail.
Then, out of the blue, an email comes from a friend who years ago I got a job for.
A company needs an editor, to do the same sort of thing I did for 15+ years, legal editing, a job I truly loved though not many could understand my love of it...it was dry, boring, totally uncreative jargon, my job was to proof and edit it, morelike stay awake while doing so. Heh. But I did stay awake as the challenge of it never bored me and I could listen to music on headphones the whole time. I liked being out there in this remote field of words on printed page, perfecting them, despite the fact that no one really cared about it much, cept lawyers looking up info.
Anyway, I had the phone interview and now must go in for the in-person, to fill out the app and take the dreaded editing tests.
I hate these types of tests, they never represent me well.
Any ideas from any folks about preparing for these tests would be appreciated. I've taken a bunch of online spellers and done well.
Been reviewing westlaw and the bluebook.
Job has all the benefits, perks, and a grand salary.
It is in Seattle, downtown, on the 40th floor.
Wish me luck.
