Anyone else taking Lionbridge Exam next week?

When I first signed up to this I thought it was going to be perfect for my needs - shiftworker with a bit of time to kill away from home each week... how wrong I was!

Got offered the bonus that everyone gets offered when they start so broke my back to make sure I got all of the hours in...

Broke my back even more when another bonus cropped up that meant after only a handful of hours a week they were then paying me double time for each additional hour doing high turnover type tasks...

Now I'm at the point where for the last 3 weeks I've not even met with the minimum requirement as tasks are not available when I am... I have all day today and after 7 minutes I'm NRT! I have a life and a fulltime job to fit this around and it's becoming a joke... am seriously considering jacking it in to be honest but we're trying to save up for fertility treatment so I need all the money I can get. :mad:

For the people getting NRT today, did you get any tasks yesterday?
I did over 5 hours yesterday so was hoping it had got back to normal now but after reading the posts on here today ....I only work in the evenings during the week so havent been on yet today.....

Did you all take / pass the test the other week ? A lot of the tasks available to me yesterday were new ones on the back of that test ?

Hi Milltowngirl,

Like yourself I passed the test last week, lots of tasks today mainly 2's and 4's.

Yeah, passed the test thingy and had a huge amount of those new ones straight away... now it's tailed off again to few minutes here and there for the last couple of days. Did a couple hours at a time over the latter half of last week no problem - apart from the weekend!

Hi. Yes I passed the test too. Got lots of the new types last week. Was NRT for me all afternoon but I notice now I have tasks available (now the kids are home and I can't do any!)

NRT for 2 days...grrr

Milltowngirl

Well Ive only managed 1.5 hrs tonight before NRT, so wierd after all the work I was given yesterday and all the work showing tonight as available....its so unpredictable ! Anyway, not to worry, made the decision of when to stop and go to bed easier !!

I managed to do almost 2 hours today. There are some tasks in the queue but I gotta read the guidelines first to go on. I can't log on the portal, it says my password is wrong but I managed to access it early in the morning! Weirdo...

Do you guys insert the info in your timesheets as you do the tasks or you first wait till you get a good amount?

I would edit out the task name in your post, especially after the reminder of NDA.

Can anyone tell me how/when we know if our timesheets are approved?
