Other jobs that are similar to editing

After our discussion in class last week, I spent some time think about other jobs that have an editing component:

1. Buyers for stores

Buyers have to make sure that merchandise are appropriate for the individuals frequenting the store and likely to buy items. A recent example is from Zellers where children's clothing was pulled off the shelf after it was found they contained sexist and vulgar comments.

2. Pharmacists

Pharmacists can prevent the wrong medication from being given to a patient. Some treatment packages can contain medications that a patient has an allergy or sensitivity to, when it occurs, pharmacists will do all they can to contact the physician to make changes to the prescription.

3. Elections staff

The election staff have to make sure the laws are followed and the people are voting in the right polling stations. They must treat all members of the public justly and fairly and react to any concerns at the polling stations.
