I was a part-time proofreader in a contract job from 08:00 to 13:00 for Edutel, an educational firm in Roodepoort, a suburb to the west of Johannesburg in South Africa from 1 September 2021 until 31 December 2021, but my last work shift of my contract period is 24 December 2021. Thus I would want to fill the time after that with proofreading, content writing, copy-editing (which we call sub-editing in South Africa), translation from Afrikaans to English and English to Afrikaans and secondary research on a freelance basis. I have 17.5 years of copy-editing experience for Beeld, Volksblad and the Eastern Cape and Western Cape editions of Die Burger, the Afrikaans newspapers of the Media24 group of companies. I was laid off from my previous job, as a full-time copy-editor on 31 October 2021. In 2021 I did proofreading on a freelance basis for various clients, secondary research and translation from english into Afrikaans and from Afrikaans into English and those are the skills I would want to use during the rest of 2021 and from 2022 onwards.
