Editing a sample document from a field that you did not go to school for to test your editing skills and techniques. The samples for me were in biology and chemistry but I am an applied math expert.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Accdon
Interview
Had to complete a scientific-editing and language-editing exercise, which involved reading, editing, and writing up a commentary/evaluation of the sample manuscript. Once submitted, it took about one week to get a response that my exercises were satisfactory and that I was hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview was solely based on performance on the scientific-editing and language-editing exercises.
There was no interview process. I was asked to review a paper, edit it for language, sentence structure, and return it in 48 hours. The whole process was very informal.
