Has anyone passed the Banner Page Quality Qualification screener? Some of the questions seem a bit confusing.

Aargh the highs and lows of freelancing.

On Tuesday l was overjoyed at being accepted into Saluda after being on the waiting list since January.

My joy quickly turned to exasperation as the rating tool is not working and l haven't been able to actually do any work.

I am running out of patience with qualifying for Appen jobs, taking the exam, getting the "congratulations!" email...and then the job never starts.

Same, I applied for Tigris months ago, and got the "tool will be added soon" email, now months later they get in touch to say to send my FB link so they can now "add the tool" that was weeks ago and there is still nothing. I think they are very unprofessional tbh, compared to the likes of Lionbridge, or Isoftstone.

There is also the whole palaver of having to make your own invoices, something which I don't understand, when every other company I use does all that themselves, it's just added pressure tbh. I've never done any work for Appen but I don't think I'm missing much.

They used to be really on the ball. I did a lot of jobs for them a couple of years ago, and could rely on them for about £800 a month at least. I don't actually hold out any hope of working for them again.

Dont give up hope with appen.

Yes there is some hit and miss projects with them and it's annoying when you pass a test and dont hear back.

I earn quite a bit with them at the moment. Some projects you do your own invoice and others you don't - but I quite like doing my own invoice as it means its really easy for me to keep track of what Im earning. Most projects have a tracker so you can keep track of time.

Trigis will come and I really enjoyed that project. It was just an hour a day for a whole year!

To give you an idea of time - I applied for appen in October and started work on Tigris in February. So it is a long waiting game. it was the first project I did and the only one I was on for a long time. Ive got different projects that Im working on now, and work is very much hit and miss.

No but I applied. Have you been accepted?
I got an email for a qualification exam. I was wondering if anyone else had the same as the guidelines isn’t very clear (it was only one page long)

I'm still waiting for Appen, it just says once that I have reviewed my documents etc... I could really do with this right now.

Its been a while since Ive done this project - but they put the app on automatically. I think they sent an email and I checked messenger and the rater tool was there.

I don't know whether I should contact them? It's been ages now. Every time I log in it just says my documents are being reviewed. I know these things can take a while but is this normal?

Mine were put on automatically when I was accepted and when they changed me to a slightly different process.

Click the search icon on Facebook and put in "survey tool" The first one that comes up for me says "Facebook shortcuts" then either select the programme you are on or in some cases it just opens on the right page.
