Bumma, did you get any feedback from following the link? What was your % if you don't mind me asking? I am having access to a few tasks today so maybe they are testing me.

Hi Dorual. My % was 59%., unlike the tests on the portal where I was getting 80%. But I've not had any feedback at all on where the problems lay what types of task/productivity or whatever. I do suspect that I'm inclined to be more critical of web search results than I need to be for LB but that's due to work I've done in the past where I've had to be!
Unlike you I've had NRT for 3 days now.
Good luck - hope it works out for you. I do wish they gave more feedback though - how else can you improve if you don't know where you're going wrong!

Dorual

I had NRT for 3 days, and then today had some, but I'm doing them slowly and carefully now. I have emailed them asking for feedback, so waiting on the reply really. I could really do with the extra money this job will bring, so fingers crossed. Hope you get access to some tasks soon, I will keep you updated too.

Hi, Dorual and Bumma

The email with the %age result has a link in it which should give you feedback on that score with detailed explanations on each example.

( I say 'should' but haven't been able to access it myself this time - I haven't had any response from the sender of the email when I asked how I could access it.)

I'm afraid I have no information as to what the process is for reviews, and can only suggest you email the person who sent the email and ask him.

Even if you can't attend Webinars at the time they're taking place I would recommend you watch/listen to the recordings available on the website. Because they're about UK examples they make more sense than some of the quizzes on the site which are US based - and the questions and answers from attendees can be very informative.

I'm in my last few weeks and will miss the work - I hope I'm not tempting fate by saying thank goodness the NRT seems to have come to an end at last.

Bumma

Thanks Bizzie Lizzie - I have looked at some of the webinar recordings - Like you I'm finding that the link in the email isn't giving me access to anything useful. Guess I'll have to send an email to them!

Does anyone know what the difference between the Internet Search Assesor and Internet Seach Administrator roles are?

I have been invited to appley for the second role having previously done the first one over a year ago.

Hi Tabath - I had a quick look on the website and here are links to the two job descriptions:

Internet Search Administrator -

http://www.thesmartcrowd.com/workers/job-opportunities/job/internet-search-administrator-united-kingdom/?origin=20

Internet Assessor -

http://www.thesmartcrowd.com/workers/job-opportunities/job/internet-assessor-united-kingdom/?origin=20

It looks like the first is more specialised and narrower in variety but with the opportunity to participate in the marketplace, but it also requires Vista or W7 where the latter doesn't specify an operating system.

Just had a loook at those job descriptions thanks and it also looks as though no exam is needed to be taken for the admin role - maybe because they are only offered to peolple who have already passed the exams for Assesor role?

Also just wondering what the "roles in the marketplace" means?

Bizzie_Lizzie

I wonder if it means working for different clients on specific projects? That's what 'marketplace' suggests to me.

(I'm only making this up convincingly - perhaps you could email and ask?)

tabath

Thanks, If I get any further with I will:)

Dorual

How's everyone doing? I've had an ok amount of work, and I believe they're conducting a random quality review again this week so fingers crossed.
