F.A.Q.

Do I have to pay for using this website? Is there an application fee?

No. We do not charge either for applying for a job or for using our website.

How do I get started?

Simply click Apply Now on any page of the website and carefully fill in all the required fields on all the steps. Please have your resume/CV and writing sample ready.

When asking for a writing sample, what are you looking for?

A good writing sample is an MS Word document, at least 1 double-spaced page long, written on a clear topic. Ideally, the paper should be formatted according to a common academic citation style (APA, MLA, Chicago) and have in-text citations and a reference list. If you have never written a paper like this before, you can upload anything that you have written for the past year or two. In this case, we might ask you to write a custom sample paper on a topic of our choice.

How long does the hiring process take?

We receive hundreds of application every day, so we do our best to get in touch with the majority of applicants within 2-3 business days. In certain cases, the HR manager might contact you within 5 business days after the application was submitted.

Does the application process include a phone interview?

Yes. The HR manager will conduct a phone interview with each and every applicant fit for the job, so please make sure to supply us with a working phone number.

The majority of our customers are students and businessmen, so your job is to take care of any writing, editing or proofreading tasks they might pay for.

Yes. We have to learn to trust you, so start with something small. Complete a few simple/short assignments at first, get positive feedback and we will be happy to consider you for complex and lengthy papers.

What is the basic software I need to start working with you?

All you need is Microsoft Word – to complete writing tasks, Acrobat Reader – to open and review additional instructions from customers and Microsoft PowerPoint (optional) – to complete PowerPoint presentations. That's all.

The majority of the orders have a set price. However, some of the assignments are open for custom bids.

If the order requires the use of external sources, are they provided by the client?

Unless the customers provides you with all the required external sources, it is your job to conduct in-depth research and find credible sources for the project.

If the revision is justified, you are obliged to perform the necessary tweaks and alterations. In other words, the revision request should correspond with the initial order instructions to qualify for a free redo. If the revision request involves extra work and conflicts the original paper instructions, you should let the support team know about the problem.

How many revisions is the customer entitled to for one order?

The customer is guaranteed to receive an original paper that follows all the instructions and comments provided upon placing the order. If the paper you submit does not follow the instructions, you are obliged to revise it as many times as necessary for it to happen.

Can I request the customer to cover the cost of the book or journal article required for completing the order?

Yes. You can work it out with the customer by sending him/her a message through the website prior to applying for the order.

Can the customer provide me with access to their school library if it is required for completing the order?
