Hi [member=1811]eros[/member],

I've recently applied to Timetc, and I've got a call scheduled for 1st July.

I'm hoping they accept my application because the hourly rate is very attractive!

I applied a couple of weeks ago, and then completed their assessments about a week ago. I was asked to schedule a call back after doing the assessments to discuss my application further. I think the earliest date I could arrange the call back on was 23rd June.

Have you applied recently [member=1811]eros[/member]?

Do you get set hours with this company or is it just £11 an hour of ad hoc work?

There are 3 assessments [member=1811]eros[/member]. I applied for the virtual assistant option, and I was tested on excel, customer service & administration. The assessment questions range from very easy to very hard, and you get a score at the end of each assessment. Once you've done this & completed your profile, the system will give you some call back dates & times.

Hi [member=1]Jon@TheMoneyShed[/member], the hours are ad-hoc. The minimum Timetc will pay per hour is £11. They don't guarantee that you will be provided with work, but they only accept 10% of applicants so hopefully there will be some work available if I'm accepted.

Best of luck in your applications [member=1811]eros[/member] and [member=1896]Megsakimbo[/member] fingers crossed!

Thought this might be useful, I've just been going through the SE section of a parenting forum and found that a company rep has replied to someone asking about this company

Hi folks,

It's Kirsten from Time etc here - I'm one of the team who look after our Virtual Assistants.

Firstly thank you very much for your interest in Time etc! I'm a bit late to the discussion but I thought it would be worth me commenting on a couple of things to aid people finding this discussion in the future:

The volume of work available

Like any freelancing situation the volume of work available is really variable and very difficult for us to predict. This can depend on lots of factors including personal experience, how much demand there is for your particular skills, how busy our clients are and more.

Everyone's circumstances are different and, generally speaking, if you absolutely need to work a minimum number of hours per week then Time etc (and freelancing in general) might not be the right solution. However it can work out really well, as it has done for many hundreds of the wonderful freelance folk we work with every day.

Selection

It's true to say we're really selective about who we work with - but in many cases this is to ensure that there is a good fit for both of us and that the relationship is likely to be great for everyone involved moving forwards. The last thing we want to do is enter into a relationship and for it not to work out for the freelancer or us.

Pay rates

We offer a guaranteed hourly rate for all work completed - so you always know what you're earning.

The rate is probably less than you could earn setting up as an independent Virtual Assistant and finding your own clients but working through Time etc can be much easier and we take care of the clients.

The rate we pay is often more than you can earn on freelance marketplaces like Elance, Odesk and Peopleperhour and you don't need to invest your time bidding against other people (often from other countries) with low hourly rates to win work on our platform as you do on some others.

Charging to get paid

It's actually Paypal that make a small charge to receive money from us. We know that being charged to receive money isn't great and we wish this wasn't the case. We're working on finding a way to reduce or remove this cost for our assistants in the future.

I hope these answers provide clear information!

I am always happy to help and can be reached at kirsten@timeetc.com if you have any questions.
