About candidate

About you
I am an experienced freelance copy editor/proofreader with five years years of cumulative professional experience. I possess the core skills to excel in any role that requires them. As an English Language and Literature graduate, I aspire to work with English editorial teams across a wide variety of industries as well as work independently with clients to utilize my core skills and proficiency in English language, enhancing the quality of their output.
What are you looking for in a new role?
As a professional copy editor/proofreader who primarily worked with a popular editing service, I'm seeking an opportunity to change industry while still working in a familiar role that enables me to utilize my core skills. I would like to work in an organized work environment with a competent management and editorial team that encourages effective communication and teamwork.
What you are interested in working with us?
I aspire to broaden my experience in varied work environments while applying my prior experiences and utilizing my core skills, refining them further in the process. This opportunity would enable me, a professional seeking career growth, to take measured steps toward my broader goals.
What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
As a freelance copy editor/proofreader working for an editing service, I was expected to proofread and edit academic articles submitted by ESL writers. As a non-native English user, I found this to be a great opportunity to assist ESL users lacking writing proficiency. However, the editing service accepts imparsable manuscripts for English editing instead of directing them to a translator proficient in the clients' native language, not taking into account the feasibility of editing such manuscripts. This often proved to be a significant challenge, especially when channels for editors and proofreaders to communicate directly with clients does not exist. This ultimately led to conflicts with the management, resulting in the cancellation of the contract.

The Hiring Manager,

I am writing this cover letter to express my interest in the Virtual Copy Editing Assistant role. My skills and prior experiences match the requirements of this role.

In my previous role as a Freelance Content Reviewer working with Cactus Communications (Editage), I line-edited and proofread over 400 English academic manuscripts, enhancing their clarity and quality while ensuring native-level language. Additionally, I provided comprehensive feedback to both clients and in-house editors.

I possess the key skills necessary to excel in this role. Your onboarding program will help me adapt to your in-house practices, ensuring a smooth transition and alignment with your editorial processes.

I am eager to apply my skills and expertise to this position. Thank you for your patience. Kindly consider my application.

 

Cordially,

Anaswar V Rajan
