Knowadays Success Stories

“Most of my friends retired some time ago, but I like having some regular work, working with younger people, learning new things, and encountering new ideas.”

“It's satisfying correcting documents. I've learned so much over the years as well, and I work with some amazing and inspirational people at Proofed.”

“I've been very fortunate to be part of the Service Delivery team at Proofed. I get to work with and learn from some amazing people from all around the world.”

“Knowing I don’t have to work in an office, have a boss looking over my shoulder, get involved in office politics, or deal with a commute – these are some of the pros of freelance life for me. I can work for myself.”

“I feel like I've become more confident. I scroll less aimlessly on my phone because I'd rather be reading style guides. I enjoy knowing there is always some work available.”

“I’m no longer stressed about what is going to happen to me. I can earn a living doing this for the rest of my life. This has been the ideal start to my new reality.”

“To be honest, I never imagined this journey would turn out to be even half as rewarding as it has been. Working with Proofed has genuinely changed a lot for me – and all in the best ways.”

“I feel that a wider range of career opportunities is available to me and that I have a skill set that can prove useful in any position. I also feel that I am a more effective writer.”

“I’m doing work that I enjoy, with people I like, and I’m good at what I do. My confidence has grown in general, and I’m continuing to stretch myself in ways I’d never have imagined before.”

“I am currently writing and editing for Stellenbosch University’s newspaper and my university residence’s newspaper. I felt well prepared and equipped after taking the Knowadays courses.”

“I like the feeling of improving a document for the client – knowing I have made a difference. The freedom to work at my own pace and around my other commitments and needs is brilliant too.”

“Because my children are small, I haven’t been doing it full time. But that’s also the nice thing – I don’t have to do it full time. It’s very flexible, and that has been one of the best things about it.”
