Anyone else taking Lionbridge Exam next week?

Got my termination notice today too, just a week or two ove r the 11 months so have been expecting it. It's odd knowing that my time's my own again, but will have to do some more hours at my normal job now.

It's still annoying that no one there can give me a reason as to why the contract is only a year.

My take on that is that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do the job at all if they didn't contract those before me for the 11 months.

That's a great way to look at it

mianmoo I'm not 100% sure. I'm going to have break ( I already work 56 hours a week in my "real" job). I had a look at appen butler hill but i don't think they are recruiting at the moment.

My girlfriend is interested in doing it and I might try to get her to apply and then maybe "help" her out a bit

Never heard if them, but I just searched and no there's nothing ATM, I'll remember them though, thanks.

There is also Leapforce, but I dont know if they hire in the UK. I will look into it more when I finish. Just done another hour, I never usually work this time of night!

They were recently (last week) recruiting for 3 different posts in the UK. When your 12 months is up could you not apply for one of the other 2 roles?

Yes but it's debatable whether you'll get taken on. I've read they tend not to take you on for another year in any other post, I LOVE to be wrong on this... So if anyone knows better please tell me.

I think someone tried that recently and got told no. Leapforce used to be US only, but I just went on their site and they have UK positions, so I'm trying them out. I'll keep you informed

Let us know how you get on Wesleyad, I dont know anyone who works for Leapforce. I am still plugging away, not had the dreaded email yet!

Hi, I've been with this lot a few months and today got an email telling me they'd found some quality issues and were going to do a review of my work..... I can't rate until they have completed my review! Has this ever happened to anyone else? I have never had any other feedback, not even a star rating....is this normal or am I a goner?
