However, proofreading (as opposed to serious copy-editing responsibilities) is mainly a matter of persistence.[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Although an experienced proofreader can often quickly spot unique errors a neophyte would never catch, the former will just as often be no better than the latter at finding all of the remaining errors (if any) on the first try. Finally, proofreading has few practical tools to master. Proofreader marks, line gauges, and pica poles are readily understood, and most shops tend to rely on a fairly limited range of typefaces soon identifiable by name even by individuals unschooled in the fundamentals of typography.
A contrasting approach to testing therefore is to identify and reward persistence more than an arbitrarily high level of expertise. For the spelling portion of the test, that can be accomplished by providing a dictionary; lengthening the word-list conspicuously; and making clear that the test is not timed. For the proofreading portion a suitable language-usage reference book (e.g., The Chicago Manual of Style) can be provided. (Note that knowing where to find needed information in such specialized books is itself an effective component of the test.) Removing the pressure of what is essentially an ASAP deadline will identify those applicants with marginally greater reservoirs of persistence, stamina,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and commitment. At the same time, by mooting the need for applicants to make use of a memorized list of difficult words and a studied knowledge of the more common grammatical traps (affect, effect,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], lay, lie), applicants learn that their success depends primarily on a quality at least theoretically available to anyone at any time without preparation. Thus, no matter how difficult the test was in practice and regardless of the wage ultimately offered, the successful applicant will have less grounds for feeling overqualified.
Whatever the nature of the tests, some are administered by HR or Reception, while others are assigned to a senior member of the Composition staff. In the former case, it is probably wise not to inquire whether actual copy-edits are to be made. This is because administrative personnel, like the public at large, are less likely to know the difference between such editing and strict proofreading, and so may take the question as a sign of inexperience. Applicants in this position should consider the test both a copy editing and proofreading one,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and keep queries to a minimum. But when the test is administered by a Composition employee, it is likely safe to ask outright if it includes copy editing, and a straight answer is more likely to be forthcoming in response. |
