Occupation Title :  Editors

Job Description : 

Plan, coordinate, or edit content of material for publication. May review proposals and drafts for possible publication. Includes technical editors

 

Occupation Code :  27-3041

 

Method of Entry

A college degree is typically required for someone to be an editor. Proficiency with computers and communications equipment also is necessary.

 

Editors work mainly in offices, but advances in technology allow some editors to work wherever they have a computer. They often use desktop or electronic publishing software, scanners, and other electronic communications equipment to produce their material. Editors’ schedules generally are determined by the production schedule and the type of editorial position. Most salaried editors work in busy offices much of the time and have to deal with production deadline pressures and the stresses of ensuring that the information they publish is accurate. As a result, editors often work long hours, especially at those times leading up to a publication deadline, which can be daily or even more frequently when an editor is editing material for the Internet or for a live broadcast. Overseeing and coordinating multiple writing projects simultaneously is common among editors and may lead to stress, fatigue, or other chronic problems. Freelance editors face the added pressures of finding work on an ongoing basis and continually adjusting to new work environments.
