TechPowerUp is Looking for a Content Proofreader

TechPowerUp is looking for a content proofreader with a strong command of U.S. English. This is a remote, part-time position, the job entails proofreading our written content, like reviews. The position is paid and open worldwide, expect 1-2 hours of work per day, Mon-Fri. Besides excellent language skills, it's a big plus if you understand the topics we're writing about. No need to get all the technical details, but it will help a lot if you know the difference between Mb and MB, NVMe and SATA, and can catch other similar mistakes, in addition to spelling and grammar. We're looking to fill this position by August.

Interested? Write to w1zzard@techpowerup.com. If you can, do tell us a bit about yourself, like age, location, time constraints, etc.

This thread is as chaotic as I imagined and feared it would be, everyone's rather excited about this opportunity
Beyond excited…only problem is the odds are against me (and everyone else) considering how many applications there must be!

IF Techpowerup had an office near me I’d probably volunteer to clean toilets just to have an in! :roll::roll:

I'll just be the one messing up the toilets, making typos from posting reviews on ToiletPaperUp while I'm there.
Then everyone gets to clean up after me - I'm helping the economy!
(Anyone else extra careful with grammar and spelling in this thread?)

Well just let me take you hostage and then you’ll be part of the process off the sidelines! :clap:

Hopefully everyone here realizes I might be eccentric, but not crazy :)
