FAQs
The primary purpose of proofreading is to enhance the quality of the paper by identifying and correcting grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors and addressing any inconsistencies in writing style or discourse.
Proofreading is the ultimate stage of the editing process and focuses on surface errors like misspellings and grammar mistakes. It would be better to proofread only after you have finished all your other editing revisions.
Including your experience as a proofreader on your resume can showcase your skills, primarily if you have worked on large projects. If you have limited proofreading experience, you can still fill out your resume by including related project experience, such as writing or editing work you completed as a freelancer.
