So you got a gig as a "proofreader" and you are now asking what you should do ?!?!
?!?!?!?!

Good lord look at the mistakes in your question. I'd start with learning proper grammar, punctuation & sentence structure before you place any more bids on proofreading jobs. Good luck!

lol at the above comments.

@ OP

Congrats - since the client is new to you and vice versa; you let them know what to expect and when to expect it.

For example: 2 days for draft / 1 day for revision / 3 days for final output.

and be prompt with responses. Clients love to think they own you for the duration of the project (and sometimes beyond!)

I suggest you tell the employer the truth so that there are no damages on their side. My personal policy is to be honest with the employers even if they do not hire me. If you can not satisfy the employer please do not waste their time.
