"I would say that I'm highly adept at detecting errors in my work. I can attribute this to my years-long experience as a speech-to-text transcriber during and immediately after college. Our typing accuracy target was 98%, and transcription work had a standard turnaround time of 24 business hours. I've adopted this skill into my instructional design work, in which I always read content aloud as much as possible. In addition, whenever I get a chance to wrap up work on one training material, I try to work on something else that's not related to the content. Either that or I take a quick break and take my mind off the subject. Then, I go back into the material I'm working on to look at it with 'fresh eyes.' I make sure I don't submit anything without thoroughly checking. I also have spell-check and grammar check always active on my devices."
