barclays are not charging me for receiving payments into my normal bank account and i seem to be getting a reasonable rate each time it arrives.

Trying to be organised, so have been on to the taxman to find out about SA and NI, so now all I need is the exam to arrive and my cold sweat to start!!!:p

Hi all

I am new to the forum so please be gentle

I have been reading on here for the past year but I thought I'd get involved...

I applied for Lionbridge on the 4th July and have not heard back yet... is this a normal time to wait?

Thanks

The Side by Side tasks with 10 results each side are taking me about 20 minutes each to complete. Is there anyone who can do these is 6.8mins. Any tips?

god, how annoying they used to be 5 on each side.

it usually takes me about 5 mins to do. just click on each link, decide very quickly how useful it is and a brief comment on the type of page so you can then do the comparison. with 10 each side you generally only have 10-14 different links?

so not much help bar spend less time on each page, its usually easy to tell what rating to give, and its just indiciative to the overall result.

Hi, I applied around the same time and have had my T&Cs through, which I returned on Friday and they've emailed me this morning to say that my exam should be through by Friday for this week.. Have you not had anything at all as yet?

Sigh, NRT.

Work has been soooo slow lately. Hope it picks up soon.

Your not alone..... NRT about 6 hours last week and 2 hours today.

Shame we can not claim for them!

I Have only just started working with them and had NRT last night and this morning, I have noticed that does quite often happen reading this thread, does the work normally pick up again quite quickly though?

I have been lucky and only just got NRT after 45mins this morning - although I only do 2 hours a day so this may be why. It does normally pick up quite quickly. I have been working since Feb and there was a period of NRT over Easter holidays which lasted about 7-10 days (there was a little bit of work but not much at all) and then again early/mid June for a couple of days. Reading on another forum though I think it has been slow in the USA for a couple of weeks now.

I'm a chinese lionbridge assessor. Since july 1, the tasks became fewer and fewer. And there were some technical issues that the thumbnail images didn't load all the time. It seemed that the problem had gone as of today. But what is NRT?
