Ummm.....exam results are delayed because of 4th July/Independance Day.....

Gazing_On_Sunsets

I applied on 29 June, did screen test on 30th June, received and accepted terms and conditions on 2 July, when they told me exam would be starting on 7th July and I'd have 5 days to complete it. As it happens, I received the exam links today(6th July, may be time difference at work) and it's 2 parts. I've just passed the first part - you get told straight away. I'm going to start the second part tomorrow, as I have until the 12th to finish it. The say the final result will not be until after 12th, even if I finish early.
Hope that helps others who are waiting... fingers crossed!

I'm panicking now about my productivity rating. I haven't got any stars yet (not enough data), but looking at the amount you're supposed to do I reckon I'm way down. I just can't type quick enough in the comments. Do they take into account that you have to comment on everything in your first 3 weeks when they're working it out?

To anyone joining, thinking of joining, or already part of the Lionbridge "program", (say in American accent). Please do not treat this as a long term occupation. I have been reliably informed by someone who worked for them that they have a cull every few months. The fact that you have met and maintained their stringent performance requirements makes no difference. At some point you will be chopped!

I wonder why they do this? It does seem to be their policy. I wonder what the advantage is to them

I wish I could find another work at home job, like this one

i know they get rid of people after 2 years i can only presume so they do not have rights to redunancy and all that sort of thing , not sure why they let good raters go though

i also wish i could find something its particulary bad timing with baby number 3 on the way , oh well hopefully something will come up

I did the Internet Assessor role for 2 years but was let go last year, they like new people and wont take on previous raters again, but just applied for the Label Editor Role which now looks open to UK again

Darn, I forgot to keep note of how many tasks I did. I noted the time I started and finished and I've logged that. Will it still be taken into account without the task count?

Go into your Internet history (Ctrl H) and you can see how many tasks you did.

just checked the Lionbridge website, and doesn't look like they are hiring label editors in the UK anymore

Hi,

They are definitely recruiting in the UK, as I've been contacted about the role. However, I wonder whether they are just going through their existing database, because I was contacted having not been successful in getting their internet assessor role.

By the way, one of the prerequisites for the Label editor role is that you must not have been worked as an internet assessor for them previously or currently.
