You may be thinking that you would make a good critic. Perhaps you would; however, willingness to work hard, along with a bit of luck, are also necessary. In fact, enjoying your subject area is one of several necessary skills a critic must possess.
Critics attempt to capture the experience and relate that experience to readers, viewers or listeners. Some of the qualities required by critics are:
Broad subject Knowledge
Critics must also have a working knowledge minute details so that they can intelligently discuss the minute details.
Writing or Presentation Skills
They must communicate their experiences to their audiences. Although no formal education or degrees are required to become a critic, some aspiring critics pursue degrees in journalism or broadcasting to obtain the skills they need. Critics for magazines and newspapers must be able to communicate their knowledge and appreciation through the written word. On the other hand, critics for radio and television must be able to convey their experiences through their spoken words.
Discretion and Objectivity

The best training for copy-editing is OJT and mentoring. If possible, you should try to get work at a publishing house. For an entry level position, they usually give you some sort of test to see what aptitude you might have for the work, and then give you training.
However, increasingly the opportunities in this field are freelance, and not full-time permanent positions at publishing houses. Indeed, unless you are in a publishing center such as any or Boston, full-time positions may be almost impossible to get. This creates a chicken and egg problem: One cannot get work without having had experience, but one cannot get experience without having had work.
If you are in this bind, then any kind of certification or training you can get will be helpful. One also cannot stress enough the need to start connecting with authors, editors, and people in the publishing industry, as the vast majority of work in this field is unadvertised.
I also agree with Stephanie Fysh's suggestion about not working for free. While it might be worth the trouble to do one or two small projects at a low price for a friend or relative just to get something to put on your resume, there is a whole underclass of writers and editors who are selling themselves short by offering their services for free or at very low rates all the time. They may think that they are building a career that way, but they are only hurting themselves.
In publishing, a serious client will pay a good wage for your labor. One sees on Internet message boards people complaining about not getting paid for a job or being mistreated by a client, and it is nearly all over jobs paying less than $40. However, people who make a serious career from this work generally get paid much more than this unless it is for a very small job, and they generally get paid on time, because they are working for people who are equally as serious about publishing as they are.

Below mentioned are some of the questions which are usually asked of the students during the interview. I am writing the answer, as in how can you answer those questions leaving a good impression on the recruiter:
Q- How do you meet tough deadlines? Tell me about a time you completed great work under pressure.
A- Good designers are thoughtful and thorough, but you also want to make sure they know how to prioritize and work well under time constraints.
Q- Whats an example of a project where you disagreed with the clients feedback and how did you handle it? A- Good designers should be able to defend and support their work in a professional, respectful way. You want designers who believe enough in their work not to be steamrolled but also who won't be difficult to work with or refuse to adapt.
Q- Let's say someone tells you to design something without any context. What do you do? A- Nobody likes it, but sometimes designers are asked to create something without a lot of contexts. A good designer can roll with the punches and find answers to their questions whether there's a detailed creative brief or not.
Q- Walk me through your portfolio. Which pieces are you most proud of, and why? A- Every designer should be prepared to showcase their the best work. Make sure you ask them to explain the problem each piece was meant to solve and how they accomplished that.

You may answer questions in the manner mentioned below:
Q- What qualities and skills should a good graphic designer have? A- This is a great opportunity to see how a designer thinks of their profession. To create great designs is not enough. A good designer will be able to articulate how their designs communicate your brand's vision and solve practical problems.
Q- How do you work with collaborators like copywriters, developers, and project managers? Tell me about the final hand-off process.
A- Great graphic designers are team players who ask questions and solicit feedback. A good candidate will feel comfortable collaborating with clients on a project. They should be able to recommend specific file types for review, source files, and deliverables to make the final handoff as smooth as possible.
Q- Describe your creative process. What are the major steps? A - Every designer should have a detailed answer prepared for this. A good designer won't just jump in and start designing. Great designers begin by trying to understand the problem they're being asked to solve. Depending on the project, they might interview users or look through data to determine the best course of action. They should also allow for at least one round of substantive feedback and iteration before they submit their final designs.
