Thumbsup Re: Proofreading and/or Editing?

Hi Tammi!

Thanks for the great information. I am a little confused on what tense means, so I looked it up online, and kind of get it, but to me it is still editing, just plain editing. I mean if I saw, "I'm reading my book last night," I would edit to "I was reading my book last night"; so to me, my interpretation of what I read for the definition falls into what I would do while "editing" anyway. So I'm probably missing something or it's more involved than that. But none-the-less, I think that would be fun to do since I'm good at "catching" errors.

I just got some other wonderful advice from another forum that was asking if I had any experience in proofreading/editing on my resume? A light went on in my head and I knew I had to go make a slight "edit" lol, to my own resume because when I stated, "Review other Auditor's audits for accuracy and submit to customer.", I KNOW that involves A LOT of proofreading and editing, BUT the potential employer is not presented with these detailed facts; the sentence is very vague and lacks detail, SO I went and fixed that right up. Now it will be clear what "reviewing" really means.

So anyway thank you again - all the information, thoughts, advice, etc. that I can acquire can only help me in the end. I appreciate it!
