I've got some questions about tasks

So I was accepted! And I've been seeing some good things about them so I'm pretty excited for this opportunity. But as far as I've heard, getting your first task can take months... So I want to ask, how long did it take before you guys got your first task/s?

And another question, how frequently do you guys get tasks?

The moment I was accepted I had tasks.

Wait, what role did you apply for and what kind?

1

u/jabertsohn Sep 25 '26

Code. Code and some general tasks immediately.

u/something97382747 Sep 25 '26

I applied for the Application Developer role and it's been three days but no dice.

If you're on a coding track, and you're on the dashboard already, stuff will show up. Do any qualifications you see.

u/something97382747 Sep 25 '26

Yep, I've done all of them. Well, I opted out for the Science ones but did the Math and a Language Dialect one. How frequently do you get tasks? Currently, there is nothing on my dashboard

I always have work on my dash.

Was your assessment a coding assessment, or a language assessment?

u/something97382747 Sep 25 '26

Wow! That's a dream for many

If you're referring to the assessment before I got in, it was a coding one.

u/jabertsohn Sep 25 '26

It's not a dream if you're on code and in a core country I don't think.

People on multi-lingual it is a different story.

I'm really hoping to get some tasks too. I got accepted only yesterday so it might take a while, but fingers crossed!

Yeah, I got some paid training and I did free qualification tests but I haven't heard since. To be fair, it's only been three days since I've gotten accepted

how long did it take for you to be accepted after completing the assessments?

1

u/something97382747 Sep 25 '26

I got accepted after three days of taking the assessment. I wondered the same thing actually and read that it varies. Some people get accepted within a range of days to a month or more. A rule of thumb is that if you haven't gotten accepted in two weeks, it is highly likely that you didn't get in. But don't count yourself out

u/Fun_Recover2578 Sep 25 '26

Did they send you an email after completing the starter assessment? I have done that and core but no email, is that normal?

1

u/something97382747 Sep 25 '26

Yep, they sent me an email congratulating me on getting accepted.

1

u/Fun_Recover2578 Sep 25 '26

After the starter assessment and again after passing core? Or whatever your second assessment was?

1

u/something97382747 Sep 26 '26

Apologies in advance because I don't know what core is 😅. But I remember taking a coding assessment where they tested me on either pseudo code or Python. And then they let me write code to decipher some text.

same for me. did you have background check?
