What does a proofreader do?

A proofreader reviews written content to identify and correct errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting. Their main goal is to ensure the text is accurate, clear, and consistent before it is published or shared. Proofreaders often work with authors, editors, and publishers to maintain high-quality standards in books, articles, marketing materials, and other documents.

What are some typical challenges proofreaders face when working with tight deadlines?

Proofreaders often encounter tight deadlines, especially when working with publishing houses, marketing agencies, or news organizations. The main challenge is maintaining a high level of accuracy and attention to detail while working quickly to meet these deadlines. It requires strong time management skills, the ability to focus under pressure, and sometimes collaborating closely with editors or writers to resolve last-minute issues. Staying organized and developing efficient workflows can help proofreaders consistently deliver quality work on time.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Proofreader, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Proofreader, you need exceptional language proficiency, attention to detail, and a strong grasp of grammar and style, often supported by a degree in English or a related field. Familiarity with editing tools such as Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, and style guides like AP or Chicago Manual of Style is typically required. Excellent time management, focus, and communication skills help proofreaders deliver accurate work and collaborate with writers or editors. These skills ensure that written materials are error-free, consistent, and professional, which is critical for maintaining credibility and quality in published content.

What is the difference between Proofreader vs Copy Editor?

AspectProofreaderCopy Editor
Primary FocusCorrects grammar, spelling, punctuationRevises style, clarity, structure
Skills & CertificationsLanguage proficiency, attention to detailLanguage skills, editing experience
Work EnvironmentPublishing houses, freelance, mediaPublishing, marketing, corporate
Common UsageFinal review before publicationContent development and improvement

Proofreaders focus on catching grammatical and typographical errors to ensure accuracy. Copy editors go beyond, revising content for clarity, style, and flow. While both roles require strong language skills, copy editing involves more in-depth editing and rewriting. Understanding these differences helps employers and job seekers identify the right role for their skills and career goals.

What Are Proofreaders?

Proofreaders are hired to review and find mistakes in printed or digital materials. Traditionally, they were employed by newspapers and book publishers to correct initial versions of writings before they printed final copies. Now, most proofreaders work on digital formats and are hired to read blogs, news sites, social media updates, and online reviews. A Proofreader sometimes doubles as a Copy Editor, correcting grammar and spelling mistakes as they work and offering suggestions to improve the copy. They also make sure the layout of the page is readable, and that page elements do not hinder or cover any text.

The Heart of St. Honoré

St. Honoré Bakery is a slice of French heritage nestled in the heart of Portland, where the smell of toasted flour and wild yeast is our daily greeting.

Pay amp; Benefits

  • Pay: $20.00 – $25.00 per hour.
  • Schedule: Full-time, static schedule (typically 1:00 AM – 9:30 AM, 4:00 AM, or 11:00 AM).
  • Health amp; Wellness: Comprehensive Health Insurance.
  • Time Off: Paid Time Off (PTO) provided in line with Oregon’s sick pay mandate.
  • Future Planning: Access to the OregonSaves retirement program.

The Heart of our Neighborhood

We are looking for a dedicated baker to join our team and help us maintain the high standards and french quality that our regulars have come to love.

Why You’ll Love it Here

If you’re the kind of person who has a named sourdough starter bubbling on your kitchen counter at home, you’ve found your people. You will work in an environment that prizes technical precision and French tradition, but swaps "militant" kitchen vibes for a warm, collaborative atmosphere where "geeking out" over dough development is encouraged.

The Daily Craft

  • Feed the Soul: Scale and prepare ingredients according to time-honored French artisan recipes.
  • The Human Touch: Shape every loaf by hand with high attention to detail—consistency is our love language.
  • Master the Heat: Calibrate and manage deck ovens to ensure the perfect bake, color, and "grigne."
  • The Science of Bubbles: Monitor fermentation and/or proofing stages to ensure optimal flavor development.
  • Artistic Scoring: Use traditional techniques to score breads, giving each loaf its unique St. Honoré signature.
  • Pristine Workspace: Maintain a clean, organized station and handle professional equipment with respect.
  • Team Synergy: Work side-by-side with fellow bakers to hit daily production targets while sharing the craft.

What You Bring

  • The Baker’s Intuition: You have a background in mixing and shaping; professional experience is wonderful, but a serious home-baking obsession is highly valued.
  • Early Bird Energy: You thrive in the quiet magic of the early morning (starts at 1:00 AM, 4:00 AM, or 11:00 AM) and don’t mind a schedule that includes weekends.
  • Physical Stamina: You are comfortable standing for a full shift and can reliably lift 50 lbs (those flour bags are no joke!).
  • Local Compliance: You have (or can obtain) a valid Oregon Food Handler Card by the first day of work and have reliable transportation for those early starts (Trimet line 35).

Our Interview Process

We want to get to know the person behind the flour! First, check out our employment FAQs: https://www.sainthonorebakery.com/faqs/

THEN Qualified individuals will be invited to a 20–30 minute introductory video interview to talk shop and culture. The top candidates will be invited to the bakery for an in-person interview to see the space and meet the team.

We look forward to hearing from you!
