Applicants must be over current legal residents of the US or Canada.

Compensation and Hours

Proofreaders should be able to commit to verifying at least 24,000 keywords per week (approx 12 hrs work).

These positions are scheduled to commence Monday, October 10th and work is projected to last for approximately six months, through March 2011.
