APA, because it's the simplest
At college, I always enjoyed writing academic essays and helping friends proofread their work. I also edited part of a student journal, which showcased the best of students' work each year in social and political studies. I was working as a transcriptionist when a friend asked if I could take on some proofreading work on his behalf. Because of this, I started proofreading for ESL (English as a second language) customers and haven't looked back. It's interesting work, and I'm always learning something new.
Have proofread a number of PhD theses for Italian students. Transcriptionist at Rev.com with 1,000+ minutes transcribed. Developed and completed a number of small social research projects for a non-profit organisation based in Dublin. Section editor of a student journal from 2005-2007.
Depending on the piece of writing, I enjoy making writing flow, or picking up on little inconsistencies that might otherwise be overlooked. I'm a stickler for consistency. If I don't correct it, it will just annoy me! For ESL customers, using connector words effectively is one way to improve flow and ensure greater coherency between sentences. I love sociology and social research, as well as marketing copy. I enjoy the stringency of academic writing, and the creativity of marketing copy.

Anything by Jon Ronson
Doing cryptic crosswords, watching BTS meme videos, attempting and failing to cook vegetarian dinners.
Always set aside a few solid hours for proofreading, because you need to get into a flow of doing it. It's not good to have lots of interruptions. Realise how your level of correction could be seen as insulting by a customer, so always assure them that the final decision on an edit is theirs.
