There are many proofreading agencies on the internet that claim to find you work and act as an agent in securing you employment, sending the manuscripts and proofs to edit and paying you. I will seek out and list these proofreading jobs agents. Some charge an administration fee whilst others charge a percentage of any employment you gain. I would advise people new to proofreading and copy editing not to pay such companies up front for promises of work. More experienced proofreaders should be able to sniff out the rogues from the genuine proofreading agents.
Most proofreading companies and agents will ask you to complete a proofreading test and attain a certain percentage as a pass rate. This need not be 100% because most authors and editors will get two proofreaders to check and correct a manuscript. So one may spot an error inadvertently missed by the other proofreader.
