Pick the role you are looking at

How employers screen it: A 60-second typing test (most ask 35 to 40 WPM), then a short written reply checked for tone and clarity, then a customer-service scenario round.
Step 1 · Check where you stand
This is the real Typing test; your result opens on its own page with every error explained.
Speed challenge
60sTarget: 45 WPM net · backspace allowed · paste off
Start the speed challenge testStep 2 · Fix what the screening catches
Step 3 · Be ready for the interview
Give a net figure and where it comes from: "About 42 net WPM at 96 percent accuracy, from daily one-minute tests over the last month." A specific number with a method is more credible than a round guess.
Because the work is read by customers. A fast reply with a wrong name or amount creates a second ticket. Explain that you practise for accuracy first and then speed.

Step 3 · Be ready for the interview
Proofreading finds errors in a finished text: spelling, grammar, punctuation, formatting. Editing changes the text itself for clarity, structure or tone. Say which you are applying for and that you can tell the difference when a client asks for one and expects the other.
In passes: one for meaning, one sentence by sentence for grammar and agreement, one for punctuation and formatting. Describe how you keep your place on screen and how you handle fatigue.

Questions about remote jobs
Can I work remotely for a company in another country?
Yes. Many employers hire contractors or employees abroad through payroll partners or freelance platforms. The listing says which countries it accepts.
How do remote employers screen?
A skill test, a short written task, a check of your internet and device, and usually a video interview. Time-zone overlap matters for support roles.
Do I need a visa for remote work?
For work done from your own country for a foreign client, usually not; you still follow your country's tax rules. Check the contract.
