I just finished my contract yesterday, they emailed me yesterday afternoon saying that my account would be closed at 4pm, basically a four hours notice. It was also exactly 11 months since i started as well.

To be honest the last two months didnt hardly count, i got 5 hours for March and April, they knew i was finishing so they didnt bother giving me much tasks.

Has anyone managed to apply for one of their other roles? i noticed that there are two available but are different to search engine evaluators.

I got an email on Thurs saying they would be in contact within 24-48 hours about my exam but I've not heard a thing could this be because of the bank holiday weekend

Anyone doing crowdsourcing with LB?

I took a test on some defect data and couple of days later some production data defect data appeared. However, there seems to be an error when ever i try it. I've emailed LB but had no response..

Hi everyone, I have been reading through this thread over the last few days, since I applied to LB and am happy to say I have received an email today stating that I may be a 'suitable candidate'!. I have received an email entitled 'consulting agreement' , I have also received attachments and general info about residency and pay, although no specifics.

I have been told to read the email and the attachments and then to follow the link to 'Terms and Conditions questionnaire'.

Does anyone know, how soon after I do this, will I be invited to take the exam? (IF, I am invited to take the exam!), I will be busy from monday-to friday of next week so would like to try and delay the exam as much as possible, to after then, but also I do not want my t and cs questionnaire to be in late. There is no date specified in the email, although am still a bit concerned.

I am worried that if I email asking, they may be put off and think that I'm not fully commited

If anyone would be able to give me some advice that'd be great

Many thanks

Well I applied a few weeks ago after seeing Lionbridge mentioned in Martin's Email.

Ive today had the following email:

Crowdsourcing ppl - when submitting hours do use what the UHRS report or do you log your own hours noted? I have noticed that when i exceed the timer limit (even though i am allowed to in this particular project) - the report always shows less hours. Please help...

I always supply the logged hours from the UHRS report - when I first started working I manually noted my hours down, but when comparing to UHRS there was a matter of minutes between both measures. Now I just solely rely on UHRS logs as it's easier and means my time sheet always gets approved each month - hence I get paid on time. :beer:

I think when you exceed the timer limit, UHRS is still logging the time but obviously your RPH (ratings per hour) would decrease.

Thanks JimJon

Considering applying for this or Leapforce. Are there any restrictions on geographical location when you either first apply or subsequently?

In July I'll be on a tour of SE Asia for a year so this would be something we would plan on doing when holed up in the hotels in the evening.
