Business is Booming for Papercheck and EditorLive - Hiring Frenzy Ensues
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- EditorLive, the editor portal for
Papercheck, is vigorously looking for ways to attract new editors. EditorLive
launched a Facebook application to quickly evaluate the skills of potential
proofreaders. The Facebook application is a shorter version of the editing
assessment launched late last year on http://www.editorlive.com. Today,
Facebook officially added the application to its extensive application
directory.

Business at Papercheck has increased significantly this past year as
domestic companies look to outsource their editing and proofreading jobs.
However, most American companies do not want to send their documents overseas.
This has created a niche that has been filled by Papercheck. In addition, the
weakened dollar has expanded Papercheck's global presence, as several foreign
companies have sought and found professional editing services in the United
States. "The weakened dollar has significantly increased the number of foreign
clients who want high quality editing from American educated editors," said
Darren Shafae, Vice President and Founder of Papercheck. Mr. Shafae also
commented that, "(Our) clients, both domestic and foreign, expect nothing
short of perfection, and we can offer these services at competitive rates."
The downturn in the economy and the rising cost of gasoline have increased
the popularity of telecommuting. Proofreaders enjoy the ability to work from
home and they have the flexibility to travel as often as they please. Several
potential editors have inquired about the application process, and decided
that they wanted to sample the editing exam. The new Facebook application
allows any of the 94 million registered Facebook users to add the application
to his or her profile and take the eleven question test. "The test is a
simplified version of the extensive EditorLive assessment," commented Daniel
Buscaglia, Web developer of the Facebook application. "Do not be fooled by its
brevity; the test is extremely difficult, and few participants pass the
Facebook application," stated Mr. Buscaglia.
The application can be added to an existing Facebook account by going to
http://apps.new.facebook.com/editorlive/. High scoring participants of the
Facebook application are encouraged to take the official EditorLive test at
https://www.editorlive.com/editing_application.asp.
