Anyone else taking Lionbridge Exam next week?

Spaceman - if you're UK-based (ie. the first language of your country IS English) that's all they ask for. Though I noticed Welsh was also in the list!

I have just had my contract come to an end after my 11 month stint. I really enjoyed the work and the extra money helped. Anyone know if you can re-apply and if so, how long do you have to wait?
For those just starting out, don't get too hung up on the time thing. I dont think I ever managed an average of 10 hours per week. I certainly didn't get as much as 40 hours per month. About 20 a month was my average. Do the webinars (UK and US based one) to boost your star rating. I don't think that the quality of work makes a lot of difference - unless you are really poor and don't improve. Enjoy it, it doesn't last long.

My contract ended a couple of months ago. I emailed asking if I could join again in future but they said currently unable to offer ex rates to come back. I'll keep asking them now and then though and see what happens

Greybeard the grey - are you saying that we wont be able to at least get 10 hours a week? if you managed an average of 5 hours a week then that doesnt seem much to be honest!

Btw i have just signed the nda and now im waiting for the next step, im not too sure about it now because i have heard many people say that they arent getting much tasks.

To be honest, once you've passed the exam it's a no-lose situation as far as you're concerned. The work is easy, and even if you only got to do a few hours a week that is worth it, right? Every little helps!
Having said that, I've now been working for them for 3 months and I've only come across no tasks three times in that whole time! I do log in and work at all kinds of random times though, I don't know if that helps. I tend to do an hour here and an hour there, never several hours in a row.
