  • Thanks for your reply :) I sent an email yesterday and still no response, I´m not in the UK nor a native english speaking country, but the PM had been replying my emails on a daily basis so far, a friend of mine got an email from the same PM two days ago, so I think I don´t have any other choice, but to wait :O

    I have received guidelines last week, haven't been around them yet.
    So is it good job to earn little extra from home ?
    Do you actually get regular work your way ?

    Guidelines email is so long and complex.
    I need to be 100% present to understand them. Have to create logins. etc.

    Plenty of work available at the moment, but very hard to keep the job once you have it due to the practically impossible quality metrics. I started exactly a month ago, and am currently having to requalify. Failed the first of the three tests yesterday, so if I can't pass any of the next two either then I'm out.
  • As always, I welcome people over to the Leapforce family if you're able to apply :D Better training materials and more generous metrics that are more conducive for a longer work life.

    I´ve read many of the posts in this thread and it seems last year you were working in a different project? and the metrics were quite reachable? my guidelines are 56 pages long so not sure if it is the same project

    Yes, I'm doing the one with the 56 page guidelines. As is everyone else posting at the moment. The original project ended in June.

    Well at least I feel relief cause I was a bit frustrated about my ratings and the way they judge, I sent many appeals on my two tests, in half of them I was 100% sure I was right. I have compared the job offers between UK / my country and are quite similar and were posted the same date, so any of you have applied or worked for the annotator role or online crowd worker? Is it worthy?

    Good luck with it :-)

    I am leaving it a few days. Too depressed after the 1st result :(

    Ohh don´t worry, I got .39 on my first training but I improved a lot till the last test: .56 on the second training, first test .62, second test .78 (although I suffered with this, thinking too much before each rating)

  • *Waves* Hi all! So glad I found this forum. I'm taking the test now, but it doesn't look like I'm gonna do so well. I appealed half of the answers that I supposedly got wrong, but I don't know if it'll do any good. Really hoping I get a 2nd chance at the test!
