Employee Interview #06

Give an end to the product,
The job of "proofing".

Proofreader
Joined and hired mid-career in 2021

Q01

Could you tell me your current job?

We check that the contents of menu books, pamphlets, flyers, posters, websites, etc. are not incorrectly described as instructed by the client. Necessary tasks vary depending on the project, such as matching with the supplied manuscript, comparing before and after correction, checking for typographical errors and omissions, and checking the facts of the contents.
We strive to examine the content of our clients, producers, and consumers together with their respective perspectives.

Q02

How did you join techno?

I used to review my previous job at a publisher, so I thought I could make use of that experience.
In addition, techno is involved mainly in the food and beverage industry and in their own personal lives—the correlation between clients and consumers is easy to imagine, and I felt that I could do a good job because it gave me sharpness to practice.
Of course, one of the reasons is that you like eating out and can be involved in what you like.

Q03

What's the difference?

I think proofreading is also a job of pushing the back of a sales business that moves on the table.
"This is in line with the client's intentions, there is no mistake, and there is no problem in bringing it to the world."
Therefore, it is rewarding to evaluate techno from clients. And you can get a sense of accomplishment when you see the productions you were involved in in the city, in the store, and on the WEB.

Q04

Please tell me the skills you have acquired in techno.

In my previous job, I was dealing with print-only media, so I think I had the ability to see things with high design.
For example, it's like whether the position and space of the image, the text color and decoration are appropriate or not difficult to read. In addition, there are many foreign language projects in techno, and in English, Korean, and Chinese, you can see them quite often.
Foreign languages can only be matched proofreading, but I feel that the meaning is somehow becoming better understood.……I can't pronounce it.

Please give a word to everyone who is looking for a job.

Techno is a well-ventilated and comfortable workplace.
And even with the same calibration, an all-round ability is cultivated here.
I think it's a good environment for improving your skills.

A day schedule

09:00

To work

Take a break until the start time while checking the email. It recovers fatigue on a crowded train.

09:30

Start-up

Individual progress, schedule of the entire calibration room, consultation from sales, etc. are shared within the calibration room.

10:00

Start of work

I will give instructions to my juniors and start calibration work. Today is the GM case of a certain izakaya.

12:00

Dive-in projects

I received a request to upload it by 14:00 on the day. I'll start as soon as possible by interrupting my current work.

14:00

Completed dive project

Since it was a PDF proofreading of the end product, I was able to check it in time.
In the calibrator room, it is a rule to see two people for one case, so pay attention to the time allocation.

15:30

Lunch break

Since the calibrator has a small number of people, the time is shifted so as not to cover it as much as possible. There's also a rest room available at this time.

16:30

Resuming work

It's just a lot of work.
After the task on the day is over, proceed with the next project to make room. I don't know when the request to jump in will come.

18:00

End of work

If you can proceed as scheduled, check tomorrow's tasks and leave work.
Thank you very much.
