04/1998
  • Copy Editing, MS Word 98
  • I was one of ten emergency hires as a copy-editor for a proposal that was twelve hours past its deadline. The project lasted one and a half weeks, working 12-hour shifts and drinking 50+ cups of coffee. Read copyediting marks and implemented changes accordingly. Was given project management responsibilities halfway through project due to my dedication and solid work. The project was a failure, but I thoroughly enjoyed the intense atmosphere of a crisis situation.
