Opportunity of the week…
Endeavour Press, are seeking full time and/or part time proof readers to support their busy editorial team on a rolling contract.
Role description: You will be responsible for proof reading manuscripts (fiction and non-fiction) of up to 80,000 words (in some instances the manuscripts may be longer, for which we can pay an additional fee). The job will be completed from home with flexible scheduling. Hours will vary depending on whether you are working full time or part time.
Requirements:  You must be a graduate with an excellent command of the English language and all grammatical rules. The position requires careful attention to detail and the ability to thoroughly review large amounts of content in an efficient manner. Ideally you should have some experience of proof reading, preferably within publishing (trade, magazine or academic). This is not an editor, copywriter or writer position and as such requires someone with some experience at proofing to tight deadlines. Applicants should have a good working knowledge of Microsoft Word.
Income: £50 per manuscript (80,000 words or less).
Please email your CV and a short covering letter to Charlotte. Successful applicants will be contacted within two weeks and invited to attend an interview. We cannot respond to all applicants, so if you do not hear from us within two weeks, please assume your application has been unsuccessful.

2013 - Goodbye to another year

Wow, is it already 2014? I don’t know about you but my year has certainly gone fast! Long gone were the days of graduation and applying for my first job. I’ve now been working at IPC Media for an incredible 18 months, and to this day still feel blessed to have got my foot in the door of a large media company at such a young age.

Three roles later and I feel as though I’ve come along way. I’ve explored a few divisions and feel very much at home in the Connect division. For me, the ultimate highlight of my 2013 was being hired into my current PA role as it has proved to be the stepping-stone I’ve needed to start the path of discovery towards my dream career. I’ve been able to explore all sorts of areas of the business, so the experience has been truly invaluable. It’s safe to say, I’m going into 2014 in a truly happy place.

I think that next year I’ll be able to decide exactly where my career is heading. I can’t imagine being in the role I am in right now for the next 10 years. I keep thinking about a quote in John Maxwell’s book, “to remove one of the roadblocks to success is knowing the difference between motion and direction”, and I feel in the motion right now. I feel as though I need something more challenging, so that is something I’m hoping 2014 will bring.
Overall, my 2013 has been a year of career highs and lows, but I realise that that’s what experience is all about. I’m excited about the new year and I’m sure I’ll discover some great things in 2014.

What is your highlight of 2013?
As a last note, I must say you’ve all been brilliant. I’ve enjoyed reading all your success stories and I’m touched that you are finding my blog useful. Thanks for the continued support and happy New Year to you all!
