Job Challenges
2) An editor is associated with someone sitting at a desk correcting grammar and spelling mistakes on a written manuscript or document but now, in these times, editors have to acquire digital skills and adapt to other changes. The solution would be to already be educated in these skills beforehand or learn them when you are already an editor.
