Hi everyone!

I only found this site recently and it’s already proving to be a godsend!

I applied for a Social Media Evaluator role at Appen on Sunday and just noticed an email from them in my junk folder asking if I had a Facebook account and how often I used it.

I just replied to this but was wondering if this is something they normally do?

How long was it from applying to finding out whether you had progressed to the testing stage?

Thanks in advance!

Congratulations. I was so happy to get the invite. Even if the 7 hours can't be built on it means that I don't have to sign on over the summer and that means a lot to me.
Now I have all the info to start, I am totally confused about setting up an new Microsoft email, as my login for Appen is gmail. Lost and think I am meant to be starting ! Do you have any idea which email and link we are meant to click on? Didn't like the fact it went into my spam folder either, my laptop didn't like it

Hi,

When I got that email I replied straight away and had a reply from them the next day inviting me to join. I had to confirm that I wanted to and then they sent me an email on Friday saying that I would hear from them within 5 working days. I then received an email from them today, and had to go on and fill out details online and agree to their contract. I have received another email from them saying that someone will be in touch with me on Friday to get me started.

Hope that helps

I haven't received that email yet. They sent me an email today saying that I will receive an email from them on Friday with all the necessary instructions. They did say it could go to my junk folder. I would't worry about that too much. I don't know about having to set up a new email. I think there was an email address in one of the original emails I received from Appen which you could send any questions to.
Sorry I'm not much use. You are a wee bit ahead of me.

I had 3 emails, but none have the 'orange' link I am meant to click on to register through Microsoft. Also have to create a new email too. So I have to reply? I've signed all the documents online

I know the feeling. My two are off as well and their holidays have been extended by an extra 3 days as they are moving into a new school building. I'm in the middle of my exams as well so can't even do anything with them. My last exam is on Tuesday though so I shouldn't complain too much as that is me finished uni until September. Then I plan on doing as many of the different things on here as possible so we can have a great summer off together as I usually work all through the summer.

Let me know how you get on with getting set up.

I feel your pain as I graduated from Uni last year, and now I wonder how I managed all the studying! Good for you, it's a great achievement! I will let you know if I can figure it all out. I may get chucked off the project if I was meant to start today and don't get my 5 hours in before the week is out!

Have you emailed them to ask for help? I won't be sorry to see the back of studying. Exam time turns me into an awful person and I'm sure my children hate me.

Yes, I have just sent them an email.i also had an email yesterday which has given me a link to go and practice the work within the next 3 days. I've been so busy earning money elsewhere and bringing up a puppy that I just haven't had the time. Bad timing after months of waiting to hear from them!! Lol.

People who got onto the project where they asked about Facebook messenger, what was your pass % on the screening test?

I haven't got onto the project but I can't figure out why. The only reason I can think is the screener which I had to take without all of the info (my recruiter is one of the ones who's incapable of answering emails).

Do you mean the 20 question quiz thing? I got 100% but I'm sure they sent me the information. They didn't say that there was a passmark though. Have they told you that you aren't on the project.
I think there's a large element of luck with getting work with these companies. Lionbridge for example, rejected me instantly without even letting me sit the exams and of course they don't give you any feedback :rolleyes:

Hi, I got 95% I think. But I can't get into the project becauseI created a new password for Microsoft account, and when I log in there is no link, it says im.not signed in properly. I thought it would be straight forward:(

I had to create a microsoft account with the email address that they are using to correspond with me. It's not a Microsoft email address so at first I didn't think it was possible but I was able to do so with no problems.

I managed to create my account etc, but there is no link to the project when I log in, although it does say Appen etc at the bottom of the page, I'm totally confused. They want me to send a screenshot so I will tomorrow. I'm probably doing something really stupid , they sent so many emails which just seems complicated for a non-complicated job! You wouldn't believe I have a degree lol
