Lionbridge [OT] Telus International / Lionbridge Work Opportunities

[pliusiukas]

I wrote them to ask when is payment and got an answer 3 my money claim were rejected, because I did not buy item from ad i told guidelines says if item is sold out/too expensive I need to buy somenthing else which I did and you just rejected them without even sending email!!! The 4th was rejected because I mixed and added wrong photo (my mistake) and the 5th because the link does not work from the form I submitted I checked and found I added link to wrong line :/ my mistake again. Anyway, resubmitted 2 forms and still waitiing answer from them about 3 rejected because if different items.

Ive had all mine rejected too. One as incorrect currency used. But I was charged in USD not GBP. All the others for Retained due to other incorrect request what ever that means I have no idea.
one because I purchased wrong item. Except the item was out of stock I think. I'm away for 2 weeks so can't check my laptop to see

 

[reggie456]

Me too! My first 6 have been rejected which I sent in last week. I put the rest of my expenses in yesterday which I'm now expecting to be rejected. All of mine so far say missing expense reports but they were all attached so have no idea!

 

[gavvy]

One of mine I've completed the survey so will be missing the URL and job ref now grr.

 

[pliusiukas]

but so strange, guidelines says to buy something else but they rejected if we follow the rules that links were out of stock. But I get my ticket updated and now all my jobs are ok, will bet reimbursement next friday, but monet for jobs (that extra $) will be later

 

[pliusiukas]

oh and I am in from 2nd of may

 

[gavvy]

They are now saying they overpaid me in May last year and are looking to recover payment- they are becoming a nightmare.
Hopefully they will update my shops as I have resubmitted the wrong ones

Does anyone know if you need to have a CV in order to apply for Telus jobs? I used to do some work for Lionbridge a few years ago but can't quite remember.

I'm asking as I have not updated my CV in years!!

Yes - I'm just studying/doing an exam for one of their jobs now. I've been a freelance musician for 25 years, and didn't have a CV for anything other than which roles I'd sung and where...had to lash something together and make myself look good!

I envy you having a gift for music, ED. I can hold a tune but tried unsuccessfully to teach myself the guitar years ago and I don't think gingerly picking out things like Three Blind Mice on the descant recorder counts. You certainly seem to have a good few strings to your bow, ED.

Anyway, about Telus....a while ago I signed up with Telus and did some of their English tests. Some I passed and some I failed. I was nonplussed because I really couldn't see where I'd gone wrong. Of course I'm not making out that I'm so rare and wonderful that I can't make a mistake. Around Christmas/New Year I missed an email from Telus asking me if I wanted to try out for a transcription task; I cant remember exactly what went wrong. The email might have gone into my spam folder.

Awesome! Thank you for your help! I'll have to get a CV sorted then haha!

Not so much a gift as an absolute hell-bent bloody minded drive to do that and nothing else for a 'main' job. I think it's been instrumental (no pun intended) in adding so many strings to my bow (again, npi) relatively successfully as they're all 'hobby jobs' by comparison and I only go for things I think will be fun.

I'd keep plugging away with Telus. I think I've had an account for getting on for 10 years, and this is the first project I've been approached for. Now for Crisp to onboard me (18 months and counting, AND I've got language skills...).

@EdibleDormouse, I wouldn't hold your breath for Crisp. I found the workay ratio shocking. Not at all worth it IMO.
