Hey, This seems like a really good opportunity. I have applied for this. 😍
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Hiii! this sounds great!
Is the one article edited per assistant, per month or how often? What happens if I need to take a break around exam period, is it possible to pick it up again e.g., for the next month? Around how long does it take to edit an article?
Also with the recommendation letter, would it be considered work experience or volunteering? I need to fulfil a required number of hours for my school, of work exp. and also volunteering, would this be able to be used for that?
Thank you so much! :)

@Hope @SoulfullyAButtetfly tagging you!
@snugglesnow Hi Snuggles, thanks for your questions
Yes it is 1/month and you can do more if you have time. Yes, you can take a break and still stay on the team provided you inform me. Yes, I do personally offer a recommendation letter after 3 months on the team and it would state the details of your contributions. 7 Cups also offers recommendation letters for other things - you can read more about this here
As for the time it takes to edit, it varies per article but is about 1-2 hours maximum. If you want to give it a try, you can contact me.
@SoulfullyAButterfly

@sky2Ocean20 oooh let me know how it goes, I'm also thinking about applying after this term :)
