Glenn Johnson, Diligence Consulting

Graduates and professional people who come to live and work in English-speaking countries are often faced with difficulties in finding employment or being accepted for membership by professional bodies. While local native English-speaking graduates are normally eligible for membership of their respective professional bodies, people emigrating from other countries normally need to apply for membership and prove eligibility. Implicit in this process is the need to describe their qualifications and experience in written English of a suitable standard.

Many professionally qualified people from non-English speaking countries are already highly proficient in spoken English, but the particular standards that are expected in business and professional writing can present difficulties. We don't write in the same way that we speak.

With working experience as a professional engineer, editor and writer, and having a Masters degree in linguistics (MA, Crosscultural Communication), I am able to provide guidance and help with your written English. If you wish to engage my services to help you with your written work, then please contact me using the details on my Contacts page.

Please bear in mind that I will adhere at all times to ethical standards in relation to editing your work. If you are applying for membership of a professional association and you are required to endorse your work as yours alone, then I will assist you with correcting and improving your writing, but I cannot ethically write content for you.
