In regards to Leapforce: I didn't really consciously realise that your contract has to be renewed every year (I believe).

Has anyone any experience of this?

Do you know whether predominantly people's contracts get renewed, or whether it can be hit or miss? Of course I am not expecting you to know - haha.

Well when I was doing project Yukon if you failed a few reviews you were terminated

If you passed reviews you were kept on

I can imagine with a project like Yukon they can be quite ruthless.

Hopefully with Nile they will keep my contract on, but wouldn't like to assume.

Thanks Jon!

Hi, someone doing the map with lionbridge at the moment?
There is a short quiz to pass on 100%. They provide you the answer after you answered and can take many times. However, even I got every single question correct, my rate still 92%.....I cannot address where the problem is......

i got an email saying that I am suitable for the internet assessor role, and to sign the agreement before they send me the test material. How long is the wait usually before they will send me the test?

It was quite quick for me, about a week or two between me getting that invitation email and starting the exam. I am just waiting to find out if I passed.

Yes it is every six months. Just got an email saying my contract has been renewed - this is my second renewal - last time I was panicking as I had had some mixed reviews but this time I completely forgot about it so am very happy!! I have been doing Yukon mostly - just started Truckee in December so don't know how they review that.

Oh, no @hkjacks :(, this is exactly what put me off finishing my application to them in the end.

The revising and exams sound very intense and involve A LOT of 'unpaid' work to get through them all with no guarantee of even getting a job at the end of it - or if you will even like the tasks and/or be able to do them. And even then, the work may be sporadic or only for 6 months.

Perhaps it is a blessing in disguise for you and something better will turn up instead :)

That sounds pretty much like leapforce..... they said I passed the exam for the Map, and after signing all the document, they said they are not going to process the application.......

@parmit have you emailed them? I know they say not to but I’ve found it sometimes gives a bit of a prompt. Is Yukon still appearing on your project list or has it gone off there?

Mmm very frustrating. I’ve had it where I’ve signed the docs then it disappeared from my project list and when I’ve emailed they’ve said it’s no longer available in my area. Maybe a case of sitting tight with the odd prompt email. Fingers crossed they sort it for you.

@Pixieyrj or Anyone that’s done the Lionbridge map exam, do you need to pass both parts at 100% or do you know what the pass level is? I’ve read the guidelines and jumped onto the mock exams to see the type of questions as I felt bogged down with all the reading. But now wondering what the expectation is for a pass rate.

Does anyone know if I can apply for another project with Lionsbridge whilst I’m undergoing the exam for this one?
