Knowadays Success Stories

"I am now able to work from home in a job that is wonderfully varied, enjoyable, and (hopefully) redundancy proof. And I am spending more time with the family (and cats) now!"

"I learned so much more from the course than I have during high school and college, and I’ve been able to put it to use both personally and professionally."

“Being able to work from home has given me the opportunity to combine my professional goals with homeschooling my two kids, even during the COVID-19 pandemic.“

"There’s no way I could go back to working in a restaurant or teaching in a classroom. I love the freedom, responsibility, and sense of accomplishment that self-employment gives me."

"I work for Proofed four days a week from home. I also enjoy the freedom the job brings; it gives me plenty of time for reading and spending time with my family."

"I love having access to interesting, portable work. Freelance proofreading for Proofed has given me the confidence to retire, knowing that I will have another source of income."

"I was diagnosed with endometriosis last year, and a lot of the time I’m in too much pain to be able to do a very physical or social job. Now that I am a proofreader, I can work from home, sat in a comfy chair and close to snacks."

"I haven’t been self-employed before. But I now have more control over the hours and days I work and the amount of work I do. That, in my opinion, is the best way to work."

"Six months ago, I was quite concerned about my future. After doing the course, it’s exciting to find myself actually working as a proofreader and to have opportunities that I didn’t even know existed before."

"This course has shown me what I want to do for the rest of my life. I want to be a full-time proofreader. I now have a career path and a plan I can follow!"

"This is my first time being self-employed. The flexibility is a big bonus. I work from home (where I have a big desk and a nice view) or at my local library when I need a change of scene."

"I have never been self-employed before, and I love it. The freedom, the flexibility, working from home around my baby: it’s all very convenient and almost doesn’t feel like ‘work’."
