Mallrat, just wondering what version of Internet Explorer you are using and Windows? It shouldn't matter as I haven't had issues before, but may try a different computer to see if it is different.

I am currently using IE 9, and Windows Vista.

Hi everyone. I see some familiar names in here! I was with Lionbridge and then Leapforce. It looks like they are letting me go as my six months are nearly up and I haven't had any tasks for over a week now. Can anyone tell me how BH compares to the other two as I'm thinking of applying. Really disappointed not to be kept on at LF, especially with Christmas coming up

I have also worked for Lionbridge and in my opinion overall BH is better.

Hi Cassiopeia01

I concur with Catwoman - Having also worked for Lionbridge, whilst they both have their pros and cons, Appen is better.

Primarily this is because you are guaranteed work, unlike Lionbridge where days could go past with no opportunity to earn.

This does of course though mean you have to work 20hrs per week, but if that's no problem Appen is a way of earning more due to the consistent availability of work.

I'd definetly say Appen feels more like a formal job (you have to book holiday off, for example) Communication though is far better with Appn than lionbridge.

That's great thanks, 271906. Well I've just submitted my application so I'll just keep my fingers crossed

Hi, I joined Appen a few days ago, completed a couple of the qualifications and now i'm waiting, how long does it take for them to give you work? Thanks

I completed the pre-screening exam and then signed the NDA. Got the invite to project and the email says the qualification start date is today. No emails so far today and there's nothing in the place I signed the NDA... Not sure what happens next.

They tend to work based on Pacific Time, so you might not hear anything until later today, or into this evening.

Good luck with qualification
