Has anyone been invited to Stonecoal? Is it worth bothering with the qualification? Haven't had any good Appen work in a while but I'm not sure if it's one of those projects with only a few days of work

Can't answer for Andrew but online sales have done very well during lockdowns because there are less options available to people. It's also coming up on Christmas which is the most profitable time of year anyway. I think it would be a risk if you were in an industry that gets closed during a...

That's some great inspiration @Andrew! I started reselling at the end of August. Doing well so far, hoping to scale it to a full-time thing eventually.

I haven't been onboarded yet and am enjoying the calm before the storm.

As long as there's still some slacking opportunities... I miss the projects where I could spend 30 seconds on it and sit round for 5 minutes watching youtube. My current one I'm going full speed the whole time and barely meeting time requirements.

Thanks @Jon! Don't know how I'm even going to find the time for it at the minute, I'm on another long-term Appen project with 10+ hours per week too. Can't complain though. :)

Has anyone passed the Yukon exam recently? Somehow passed first time which I'm shocked about. How long did it take you to get the next steps and actually start rating?

Have you done the practice test cycles where you report bugs? They're numbers 7-11 I believe. It's the bug reports that affect your rating. I think I stopped after 1-2 test cycles because I already had enough projects coming through.

I do a fair bit of on site testing. The majority of that payment was from some testing I did in Ireland. They reimbursed my flight/accom too which is unusual. To start with, I'd say do the academy cycles (at least a couple of them) to bump up your rating. Once I had some sort of rating I...

I think she got a job at the fibre broadband place considering how lackadaisical they were :D I could be talked round with another project though.

Super slow to this but the fibre broadband test, if it's who I think it is, I'm still on a cycle from June 2019 where they never actually installed the broadband so I wasn't paid but they did make an entry on my credit report that I had to get removed. Be careful with it. uTest paid me over...

hahaha I was going to say so I don't lose my voice again right before Christmas but sounds ideal not being able to talk to anyone :D

I think the grand plan is bringing back band aid.

10,000 german phrases instead then

I've been watching disaster movies all day to prep. :D
