    Hiya

    This is my fourth week rating and so far I've heard nothing from anyone. I seem to get a lot of tasks back for resolving so I'm thinking I'm not doing that great either! I've had a lot of Type 5 tasks too but I have absolutely NO idea how I'm doing!!

    Did they give you any idea of what you need to do to improve? Seriously, I've never had a "job" like this before where you are so isolated without anyone to turn to for assistance.................

    When the star ratings came out in March, I don't think I'd been there long enough to get this...........therefore I have no idea of a star rating or anything.

    I managed to complete the full quota for the last three weeks of March (60 in total) and today I got an email to say the timesheet has been approved. I'm guessing then that I can't be doing bad????

    Anyone have any ideas/input?? I guess I'll really know when the next stars come out :(

    Just a quick question for anyone that might know.
    My friend has also managed to get this position, does anyone know if we can rate in the same building (even in different rooms) as he seems to think he's read that they check your IP address and so it's not allowed.
    Thanks :)

    I have only just started rating - but I have read somewhere about this when I was signing up. It said family members, friends etc are welcome to sign up, but IP addresses are checked and can't be the same.
  • Type 1 Help needed! I've only got Type 1's in my queue at the moment. I've never done one before and I've no idea what I'm supposed to do or what some of the questions mean! It says read the instructions first, but the link is to GG which doesn't mention Type 1's.

    Can anybody help? Please PM me if you can't say on an open forum. Many thanks!

    Thanks, just seen that in the Q&A, but it says the same computer cannot be used.

    Think we'll play it safe and not bother.

    Hiya

    When we started working for Lionbridge, we had to sign a non-disclosure document - breaching this would mean losing the job.

    Here is a link that might help..........

    Hey guys! How are you?
    Well, I'm new to this forum. I applied for this position last Monday. Today I got an email from them telling me to read carefully all the documents and then agree to the Terms and Conditions. I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the process seems to be going really fast as there must not be many Brazilian applicants. Now I'm waiting for the material to start hitting the books and sit the exams. I've read nearly all of your comments and thought I'd create an account and share this with you guys. Oh, and I noticed the rate of pay ranges from country to country. Any specific reason?

    Where are you guys from?

    I'm looking forward to hearing from you. :)

    I think something is wrong with the task control software as I just did 10 mins and at the end it said 32 mins!

    I'm a bit worried. Received an email a few days ago saying my quality of rating is below minimum which I suspect is mainly for Type 5 tasks and I keep thinking I'm gonna get a sacking email! I've been rating for just under a months. Anyone else got a similar email?

    Hi Redzhell

    How long have you been rating? Is this the first email you've had from them ? This is my fourth week now, Ive not had any feedback, no email like this, no star rating (think I must have started too late to get March's stars) and no email approving the timesheet like Pinkdebster. Im a bit worried now that other people have heard about their timesheet and I havent....dont know if its a case of no news is good news.....or if im about to get the sack :( I hope not, I really need this job......
    Proud to be dealing with my debts

    OMG, just read my post original post again and I've already edited it but I can't believe how awful my grammar is! This is my 5th week rating but not very hopeful of still working at the end of the month. :(
