Appen [OT] Appen Work Opportunities

[Jon]

I've just had a look at the guidelines on this Index project and thankfully they are only 8 pages long!

Registered with Appen a while ago and keep getting emails about projects. I am interested in the Project Melville one but can I do this as well as ad rating with lion bridge? Dont want to risk getting kicked off SME
Also what is the ad rating job at Appen called, I will probably apply for that when Lionbridge SME comes to an end

Taking pics of your pets

Taking pics of your pets

nah that would be fine

 

[Jerri]

Anyone been offered Caledon Alpha?

I failed the accuracy test, a bit gutted as I honestly thought I understood it and had done well.

Can't seem to pass any exams with them lately. Currently feeling quite thick.

 

[Sherliarty]

Don't take it personally. Their guidelines are ambiguous and open to interpretation.

I've been invited to do the exams for a couple of their projects recently but decided to turn them down as not sure I could meet the minimum hours necessary as well the work requirements for current long term project I do with them. I think they must be going through some hiring phase.

 

[Jon]

it's CRIMINAL how slow their site is at times!!

I don't get why they haven't noticed it and then fixed it!

How do you contact Appen?! I've emailed the support address but no luck - I've been invited to a couple of projects but one I can't access the exam and one I can't access the guidelines? I've had emails about both so I should have them...

Welcome to the world of working with Appen! I am afraid this is not unusual. Many of us have been invited to do exams then can't get access. Support is the only way I know to contact them.

I've got a mate who needed his account activating and he just replied to a general appen email and they did that for him so maybe try that

I’ve emailed so many times and they keep telling me about the wrong project. Like they aren’t even reading the emails and just sending random answers.

Yes I've had the same with another project (one that I am actually working on...!)

 

[Sherliarty]

This is just a feeling and not based on any real knowledge but I suspect how much help you get totally depends on which member of staff reads the email. Sometimes my issue is resolved immediately and other times I get a response which shows they definitely didn't bother to read the details.

Quick question.

I have just completed my first task for Appen. It says the project will automatically add payment to my invoice.

If I have not created an invoice will this project automatically create one for me?

Cheers

 

[GloriaJones]

Yeah, if you only have generated invoices then it will happen automatically. If you have to create your own for some projects then generated hours will be added to that.

Thanks for that. Logic said that was probably how it worked, but it's always nice to know for sure!

 

[fajita]

Hi all - can anyone tell me how I find out my Appen Connect ID ??

 

[Jambeforecream]

Is anyone doing the Index project?

 

[desnog]

I have applied for Index and I filled in a survey but I haven't been sent the qualification exam yet.
