Yes, you can. I started off doing crowdsourcing, and then a few weeks later was offered the chance to apply for WSE. Although nowadays you can just apply directly for the WSE role, obviously.

Anyone else getting a 503 Service Unavailable message?

Pretty irrelevant as I know for a fact I've not met the dreaded metrics this week.. so waiting for the joy that is DART.

I can get into the metrics OK. Looks like you're the only person not to miss any, as far as I can see.

I am totally confused. The metrics for me appear to be wrong.

I only got just over half of the RTAs right on Thursday.. and on at least 3 I was off-by 2!

I think you're right. Just realised that despite the fact I haven't worked for 3 weeks, I somehow have a full line of metrics there!

No doubt they'll probably realise the mistake and amend it... I guess there is hope that maybe they won't and I'll live to see another week, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Can't work at the moment due to the fact I keep getting errors anyway...

Well they still haven't contacted me about these qualifications so guess they don't want me after all. Contact is obviously not their strong point lol

Currently waiting on an email myself, so seems like they may be having problems all round at the moment.

Just "thanked" your post by accident, BTW. Not that I'm not thankful for it, though!

Surprise, Surprise.

Metrics updated and I'm booted out.

This is such a wonderful job......!
