@Tattiespuds I think it's a bit of luck with Appen, just depending on what projects are about and if you meet the requirements.
@curdsandwhey 6 months is a long time, doesn't seem right. I'd try the contact form on the Appen website and see if you get anywhere. Otherwise would be tempted to reapply.
@ruralwanderer thank you, been here for over a year now so nice to see it paying off!
Just heard my well paying appen project might be doing a third round, fingers crossed. Potato should be busy with the US election too.
