"I experience tight deadlines all the time while working as an editor. At my last company, some freelance writers sent their articles just one day before the close, so I had to edit them after hours and often through the night to ensure that the articles were ready for press on the next day. It was hard, but I never complained because I understand how things work in the magazine and news business. It is one of the reasons why I considered quitting the job and why I applied for the position of editor for a publishing house. Editors have deadlines when editing books, but it depends more on their time management skills; while in the newspaper business, you have to wait for someone else to send you their work for editing. You never really have things under control."
