I've been writing since I was in high school. I have joined several competitions that honed my skill. In college, I have joined several organizations that catered to my thirst to become a better writer. In 2013, I landed a spot as one of the interns in the Philippine News Agency. I was able to cover several events and wrote news articles. These articles were actually published and were even cited by international websites.
I am a former english teacher , we had conferences with americans, and tests to write and correct, so even if I am not a native speaker, my past experiences make me ideal for the job, besides that I am a responsible person, with availability.
I have done various proof reading works before and i have a experience of 1 year of doing it. I felt the sample articale was easy to proofread so please give me this task and i shall complete the work within the specied time limit .
Thanks.
