My mom wouldn't let me get a job when I was in high school, so I just made résumés and cover letters for my classmates for a few bucks each. When I was in junior college, I became the copy editor for our college paper for two years. Also, during those two years, I took up at least three hundred freelance jobs. I live in the Silicon Valley, so there are at least a dozen new postings asking for proofreading each day. I proofread anything from posters for science fairs, to tech articles, and I once worked with a team that helped a guy write his thesis.

Everything I had worked on, I brought to my interview, along with my Poynter certificate in editing. I also had a binder full of references. I don't know where you applied for, but it must've been pretty competitive, considering your credentials. I only work for a small paper.

You can definitely take freelance work while working an actual copy editing position.
