Got my email through yesterday to say that i'd passed the 2nd part of the exam!! :j

Does anyone know if we'd be able to put it on our CVs once completed?

I imagine you can put yourself down as self employed contracter for lionbridge as an 'Internet Assessor' but obviously because of the NDA you can't really go into much detail!

Is anyone else getting NRT a lot?

I'm wondering if I've done something wrong. Lately I've only been getting the basic "Type 7" tasks where before I'd get plenty of "Type 2s" and "Type 5s" which no longer seem to appear in my list.

I haven't been able to do many hours recently because of a family illness and bereavement but when I have been able to get online there has often been nothing there for me to do, also because of my full time job I haven't always been reaching the 10 hours a week target - so I'm wondering if I have been "downgraded"

Anyone having similar problems with Task Availability?

Very frustrating.:mad:

Hi, I joined 2 months ago, and this morning was the first time that I have had no work. I have had a good range of stuff til now especially on the weeks were we are allowed to do more, but sadly this morning I am a billy no mates......fingers crossed it will pick up for us. Dont know much about downgrading etc....

I joined in Dec and Friday was the first time I have had nothing available, but it was only for about three hours. It did seem strange for it to happen during a week they were offering bonuses though.

Just logged in to start work and I do seem to have tasks available today.

Oh, I spoke to soon. Got one task done and now NRT!

Can i please ask a question about the add assessors role?
Please PM me if you are not able to discus publicilly?
The job description does not give me huge information on the role, what are you actually doing?
Are you judging webpages against search words?
Also how many hours on avearge is available each week, is 20 realistic?
Thank you

I am also an internet assessor so can't give too much advice but re 20 hours, personally I have found it difficult. There is an awful lot of (unpaid) reading to do, and they also expect you to participate in quizzes and webinars (again unpaid and don't count towards your 20 hours).

Still NRT, but on the plus side I have been paid :j

I have got tasks now, and woo woo yes been paid too!! Fingers crossed the tasks last!!
