Appen are a law unto themselves I am afraid and do some odd things. In my limited experience, I have been invited to do a project and then as I log onto it am told I am suddenly not eligible and then bombarded with emails begging me complete it!! I don't have advice just sympathy. I am 'in progress' for loads of projects and I will be super surprised the day I actually get on one of them!

Had an e mail from Appen asking for an updated copy of my CV and to attach it to the e mail they sent. When I applied on the website I attached my CV then. The e mail looks a bit odd, no mention of my name and no name on the signiture block just support team.

Just wondered if anyone else has had this and if it is genuine.

Hi, I have been invited to the Yukon exam, well a resit because I failed last time! Anyone on here doing it? It just seems impossible to me but if I could pass it then the income would be amazing.

How long did it take you to hear back? I applied 3 months ago and still waiting

Hi All

I currently do some work for Appen and my Husband would like to try and qualify too. Can 2 people from the same family work for them? Also we only have one laptop and i notice it records you IP address, would this mean we would not be able to work from the same laptop?

Thanks in advance guys

Hmm not sure on this one.

I think personally it would only be an issue for the web search evaluator work.

Ok, thanks Jon. I was thinking the same due to the IP address, but equally, don't want to fork out on another laptop on the off chance that he may get some rating work.

when you apply for jobs/register I think there is a questions about family members and note you cant do it. Or at least it was some time ago when I registered.

Appen does a lot of other projects besides web search now, so I think you will be OK if one of you is doing that and the other is on another project. He could apply for one of the other projects like the social media projects that require you to work on your mobile. Otherwise if he wants to do web search he could just ask them if it's OK to apply.

Really frustrated with Appen now. Been ready and willing to do work for them and been accepted but the first project I was asked to work on has been a total disaster. Followed all the instructions, installed the app on my phone, kept getting emails asking me to basically do some work, but not once since being accepted have I been able to access the programme, keep being told 'cannot connect to Appen server, try again later'. Have tried uninstalling it and installing it again, no joy, have had numerous emails to and from Appen, and even sent screen shots of the problem I am having. This is the last day for the Fletcher project and I have not earned a single penny, very disheartening. I am being appraised for a couple of other projects with them but can't see that happening now. Sorry guys for the rant, must look into some other ways to earn money online!

It does take a while to hear back about projects. Thats even if you do hear back before they are full. I did a qualification test for one and passed and today found out it was full.

I had same problem could not get app to work, tried several times and e mailed them, I gave up in the end. Now I keep getting e mails asking for my CV Im not sure if they are scam ones but have put another updated CV via the website not attaching it to the email.

Hi guys.
I've just been accepted onto Pecwan - EQ. I was wondering if anyone here is on it? I see in the guidelines it mentions about having to provide reasons for why you cant decide on a rating, but i'm unsure as to if we have to provide reasons for all ratings, or if it is just for the cant decide one?

Back when I used to work on Yukon doing web Search Evaluator work I think we had to provide reasons for all ratings but that was task specific. So you would do it for say, images but not for search cards etc.

Thanks Jon. the only reference that i can see in the training regarding writing reasons down is the 'cant decide' option. I dont want to miss doing something, but obviously if i dont need to do them for all, then i can achieve a much higher throughput :)

Help! I am really confused. I have had a notice from Appen that I have qualified for project Nyasa, and that it is a one time only survey, however they don't appear to have sent me the link to the said survey, which means I am unable to work the job that they have given me. Anyone else have a problem or am I missing something?

Also I qualified for a project called Fletcher, and was then informed that they are now not taking anyone with English accents, so I don't quite see how I qualified for that!

On both of these I have queried more than once and have had no response, so anyone else got any bright ideas?

It's frustrating as it's telling me I can earn money with one hand and then taking it away with the other, and not getting any support either. Is this normal for them?

Thanks
