Hey Noburo!
Unfortunately we recently filled in our proofreader positions, but if the position ever opens up again, we'll be sure to send you a message! To answer your questions...
- Is there an age requirement? Nope~ We just need someone who has a good understanding of how the English language works, and to be quite honest, we never ask for anyone's age. Someone could be in his/her early teens and still have better grammar than someone in his/her late twenties, so it really doesn't matter ^^
- What programs would I need to use? Nothing too special. For proofreaders, we mainly use Google Docs. Translated scripts can come in Microsoft Word or GDocs, so it'd be best if you could open both types of files.
- About how much time per week would this job take up? It really depends on how long each chapter is, but we're pretty lenient with scheduling (so if something comes up, no need to worry - we understand that things happen and sometimes you can't submit something on time). One script can take from 15 minutes to a couple hours, depending on the
length of the chapter, the quality of the translation, and your own ability to detect and change grammar errors- Are there any good proofreading practice sheets online that would determine if I am qualified for the position? We have a test for proofreaders to gauge their ability to find and fix any errors, but we also give successful applicants a guide on common things to look out for. Nobody's perfect, and we certainly don't expect a perfectly proofread test, so I would just say to try your best and we can go from there
Hope that cleared some things up! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask~
