Fab news @luckyj142How’s everyone getting on?
Today I got accepted onto Nile and am finally able to apply for Yukon - excited to start but feeling daunted by the stressful sounding exam process!
Fab news @luckyj142
Bugger all is happening for me!!
Just say it's your primary one, you'll be fineWhen signing up initially to Yukon, does anyone know if your Gmail account MUST be your primary email address?
They ask the following: Is the gmail account you signed up with the same as the account that you use
as your primary email for communicating with family & friends?
I've had mine for ages but it is not my primary email address by a long shot. Don't want to shoot myself in the foot and make myself ineligible though...
@Lizziew24 or @Jon do you have any idea?
Yes I think I said mine was, even though it isn’t. They can only ask you to change it. I know Lionbridge asked me to create a new email.When signing up initially to Yukon, does anyone know if your Gmail account MUST be your primary email address?

@Lizziew24 or @Jon do you have any idea?
they are fine, I went on lots of holidays while working for themGreat. Thanks for your help.
Another thing I was wondering. I am going on holiday for 6 days in the middle of next month.
What are they like with things like that? I'd really rather not delay the application process that long.
With Falcon on Appen you just manually entered holiday as and when, no questions asked.
@Jon can you remember from your Yukon days?
Do most people not start on Nile nowadays? The minimum for that is 5 days out of 7 but they are always fine if you email them before hand and tell them you will be away.they are fine, I went on lots of holidays while working for them
as long as you do 200 tasks a month they don't care so you could just so 200 1min tasks and you are sorted for the month

I think with Yukon, even if you do your 200 tasks, they still require that you sign in at least once in every 2 week period.
I missed my Nile target a couple of times in September - I've been having a really bad time of things though and when I emailed them to explain why, they were more than accommodating for me.
How long did it take you to get onto Nile @luckyj142 ? I applied, it said they were reviewing my application, then it disappeared off my dashboard. They clearly didn’t like my Facebook account!!Glad they were understanding and you managed to hold onto it. I'll keep that in mind and make sure to let them know when I'm away.
So glad I've been accepted onto Nile after losing my Appen work.
Keeping fingers crossed for Yukon!! My initial application is submitted

Fab news! I’m being well and truly ignored at the mo, despite several emails!Just had an email to say I’m accepted onto Yukon exams. They’re obviously doing a fair bit of recruiting at the moment so if anyone needs extra work/funds... get on it!!
Although I’m not yet (!) working for them, my honest opinion would be to reschedule to give you more time to study!!!!Yukon query...
Does anyone know how long after completing the exam you are due to start work if you are successful?
My exam is scheduled for the 6th Nov to be submitted by the 13th Nov but I go on holiday for 5 days on the 19th so I'm worried I'll be due to start the day I go away...
There is the option to reschedule the exam start date... tempted to rearrange it for when I get back.
Anyone with Yukon experience got any advice? @Leeceford or @Jon ?
