Anyone else taking Lionbridge Exam next week?

Mr-Fizzle

oooh the dreaded NRT :-( I have been fine touch wood, worked a good 3 hours last night with no problems at all. Planning a couple of hours tonight - just logged on and could see tasks available so really hope there is some later on.

Ahhh teh dreaded NRT. Hated it always.

I don't generally post on here anymore as I was dropped by Lionbridge back in December for not being good enough to continue rating - I did not think I was overly bad at it and spent a fair bit of time challanging the results I was reviewed on and incorrectly given black marks!

For those that are getting 2 stars though do not be disheartened. E-mail Finan (I think his name was) and query what is going wrong. I did and I was given a lot of good advice, even if I did then follow same and still get 2 stars. The sort run of money I got was good and helped me out; I wish I had done better and was still doing it, but some things are not meant to be.

It's Fintan, the UK's Quality Controller.
I think I've got the email of him somewhere so if anyone wants it, PM me.
You may also have it as well if you've had a webinar invitation.

I'm getting that too -as of now the Portal page appears to have vanished entirely, just a blank page at the URL. :eek:

They're probably mid way through a server or software upgrade so hopefully it should all come back later today.

Hi All,

I sent off my application a couple of weeks ago and my exam will be starting on the 16th Feb but I'm not going to have any fast, good internet at home until the 24th Feb. I have a dongle which is mostly decent but does cut off or slow down every now and then and I have a library near me where I can use wifi for free during the day. Was wondering if I'm allowed to do the exam and/or the job with the wifi or dongle (can't see in T&Cs that I can't) and also if anyone does do some of their work via wifi or dongle.

Please PM me - any info would be very much appreciated! Thanks

How long does it usually take to get the email whether you have passed the exam?

Anyone else having trouble getting on to the portal? I am just getting a blank page :mad:

PurplePow

Yeah blank page!
I didn't get any NRT yesterday.... but I suppose it's probably due as we've had endless amount of work (and bonuses!) for a couple of months now.
