  • I've applied twice and not been successful. The second time I read and re-read and re-read my test answers and I was sure they were really good. Alas not good enough!

    Hi
    Is everyone sure this is genuine? It's just that on the webpage, it tells you to text them a free question first and then apply.
    That suggests to me they are trying to get their customer level up - rather than recruit staff?
    does anyone/has anyone worked for this outfit and what does it pay?
    (Their website now only lists Ireland and USA etc as having vacancies.)

    They're definitely genuine, they're a huge outfit, they were all over the media a couple of years ago when launching. I do know someone that worked for them, the pays not that great (probably comparable to a very low paid office job), the people that start doing it for the money generally cant hack it after a week or two and quit (due to frustration) the people that do well are the ones who do it primarily to better their own knowledge and as a challenge.

    I've worked for them, perfectly legit. I set myself earning targets but unfortunately that meant I didnt pass my reviews because I was sometimes careless. Its a great way to earn extra money but it can be tedious at times.

    I started with them a few weeks ago and they are definetely a genuine company, infact the are a lot more serious than I first imagined. I just had my first review and it was scary, did worse than I thought I would but still passed. I dont earn much as I take my time to try to make sure the answer is perfect(can see that helped lol) but I believe your speed gets better the more you do, Im enjoying learning new things with it too :D and its money I wouldnt have had anyway :o

    I got accepted!! I'm so pleased! Just got to send back my contract and get going although i'm a bit scared about my review!!

    I application questions were hard though, my mind boogled at the election one!
  • I just cannot get accepted at AQA and cannot work out why. How many hours do you all say you can work?

    I was refused as well, no idea why. It's a shame, seemed like fun.

    I just tried to be a bit quirky and i'm sure thats why I got accepted to be honest! (i'm a bit mad;)).

    Although i'm sure years of everyone in work dumping the work that needed obscure research on me helped!!

    I know they say they don't give feedback but if you didn't get accepted then you might as well fire off an email asking for feedback anyway. To be honest I was amazed I got accepted as when I sent back my test I didn't feel positive about it at all!
