We know that a lot of marginalised groups may not submit an application for a job unless they meet every criteria stated in the advert. We also know that there is no one path to a successful proofreading career. If, after reading this advert, you feel any amount of urge to apply (and want to work for a company who will value you for being you), we’d love to hear from you.
