Damn!

I applied for a proofreader’s job with an advertising agency that required overtime, weekend work onsite, and an undergraduate degree. I have a master’s degree in communications and also have written several articles for the specific corporate client for whom the proofreader would be working. The screener told me that several people had a problem with overtime and I told her that I had absolutely no problem with it and could come to work immediately. The screening person then remarked that I seemed to have more writing, detailed editing, and copy editing experience as opposed to proofreading experience. Huh? I didn’t get an interview. I’m so bewildered.
