@Baby89 It felt like forever but it was actually just under 6 weeks. I have only been able to do one one off job, but it does mean my account has been activated which feels like progress. I have applied for absolutely everything so I'm hoping there will be more work soon. Are you waiting to qualify as well?

Baby89 · 30/07/2020 08:08

@WonderTweek, thanks for replying. I applied a month ago and like you I applied for everything so hoping to here some good news soon. I’m just worried that I applied for the wrong thing - Appen projects is that the one. I see sim*ns and bail is that the same as the projects you saw.

Baby89 · 30/07/2020 08:08

WonderTweek · 30/07/2020 09:00

@Baby89 Hmm, I can't see those on mine, but I don't really know how it works for people. I was wondering if people with different profiles get offered different projects? Maybe someone else has more knowledge on this?

On a completely different note, I've just seen an offer for a free Headspace Premium annual subscription for those that are unemployed or furloughed! I got mine because I quit my job earlier this year and I've heard lots of good things about Headspace. In case anyone is interested, here is the link: www.savethestudent.org/student-deals/free-stuff/free-1-year-headspace-premium-trial.html?utm_source=Save+the+Student%21&utm_campaign=cfc0a7da2d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_03_04_03_57_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ae9baf3d1a-cfc0a7da2d-410468049

(Hope that works! I have no idea how to make a hyperlink here...)

Sonmi451 · 30/07/2020 09:41

Quick response from Way With Words: Unsuccessful, but good enough to be kept on file if they get desperate :)

Azerothi · 30/07/2020 10:15

@Sonmi451

Have you tried Rev for transcription? I've been with them a while now and they're really good with support and there's tons of work.

margaritasbythesea · 30/07/2020 10:38

Thank you for the Headspace link, Wonder Tweek. I really like it but can't afford it since I lost my main form of income in April. Lovely to have it back.Flowers

Baby89 · 30/07/2020 10:55

@Azerothi,can I ask what the transcription involves , is it doable when you have young kids and is the pay good. Thanks

Azerothi · 30/07/2020 11:01

@Baby89

Transcription is listening to audio and typing what is said. There are guidelines and rules to adhere to. The pay isn't great until you get good and would be difficult with very young kids. I earn most of my money with Appen as I work a lot of hours with them and my other job but keep 'my hand in' transcription in case of dry spells.

Sonmi451 · 30/07/2020 11:04

@Azerothi I haven't, but I'll have a look, thank you.

I've just been trying to sign up with Appen. Lots of "email and password don't match" errors. Finally got in and completed the Welcome task. Then went to try and sign up for projects, that was all going fine but required a new password - the only job there was linguistic & not my skills. Now I can't get back into Micro! Losing the will to live...

Baby89 · 30/07/2020 11:05

Thanks for the reply @Azerothi, I’m looking forward to getting work on appen so hope to get accepted on something soon

YetAnotherRainyDay · 30/07/2020 12:35

FYI - Appen apparently suffered a data breach in June. Might be an idea to change your password.

seizethecuttlefish · 30/07/2020 12:38

@YetAnotherRainyDay saw this and a bit shocked they haven't told anyone Angry

YetAnotherRainyDay · 30/07/2020 12:45

@seizethecuttlefish Yeah, it's a bit poor to have to find this out from a third party site.

whysotriggered · 30/07/2020 12:51

definitely change your password, I just did it.

whysotriggered · 30/07/2020 12:53

sadly, does show how little they care about their workforce that it is nearly August and they have not bothered to contact us.

margaritasbythesea · 30/07/2020 13:32

Thank you for the tip off. It wouldn't have hurt them to send an email, would it?

margaritasbythesea · 30/07/2020 13:39

I am looking at Yu**n on appen and remember discussion of it on here. Was it because it was a nightmare?

seizethecuttlefish · 30/07/2020 13:50

@margaritasbythesea I think I sat the exam when I first started but failed it. I've reapplied but haven't been invited to the exam. Though I've looked through the learning centre.

Lionbridge question. Anyone worked for them? Is the rate similar to A? A friend is thinking of applying and I thought I'd ask here for him. He's just been made redundant so looking at everything. I've never worked for them. I spectacularly failed the exam for something last year lol.

Carrotgirl87 · 30/07/2020 13:55

I just got a random payment of about $3 from neevo for tasks I did yesterday 🤷🏻‍♀️

margaritasbythesea · 30/07/2020 14:03

seizethecuttlefish - if it require concentration I might wait until the kids go back to school! Still smarting after failing Ba*r which everyone else on here seems to have passed Blush

SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock · 30/07/2020 14:05

Now, who was it who said Lloyds shares were a good bet hmm?!!

Gatekeeper · 30/07/2020 14:13

i didn't pass Ba*r either so join my very small club!

margaritasbythesea · 30/07/2020 15:19

You and me at the back of the class Gatekeeper Smile
