$8-15 AUD / hour

Closed
Posted over 8 years ago

$8-15 AUD / hour

We develop documents for clients and they are sent back to us with changes marked up, sometimes but not always in MS Word track changes. These edits need to be added in, adhering to our house-style and the whole document needs to be proofed. MS Word 2007 or later will be required. All documents are written in Australian / British English and we will only look at taking on contractors who use this (rather than US English). As the volume of work is high, we are looking for people who can commit to rapid turn-arounds, high quality work and at a sustainable cost.
