elance.com incompetent writers Internet
I was looking for ghostwriting and editing services and saw elance.com displayed prominently in all Google searches. I clicked on both the "editing" and "ghostwriting" options and started reading resumes.
I could not find a single resume without serious grammatical errors and phrasing issues in the first paragraph. The spelling and punctuation errors are so egregious that they couldn't get past a high school English teacher.
Some of the sentences in the posted resumes by alleged "professionals" read like this: "I just love being a writer because being a writer is what I really love to do, I can help you! please consult my list of jobbs completed. I write all kinds of books; Please let me know if I can help you. Thanks"
This is not an actual listing but modeled very closely after dozens I saw. I may not be able to write a book, but I do know basic English grammar and punctuation, and I couldn't find a resume without glaring errors. This is not a site that lists professional writers. It's a rip-off.
