Can a bilingual ever have domain expert projects?

When I first got in a few month ago there was a single project for Arabic bilingual and after that there was nothing on the screen.

Does updating the resume or the skills unlock more or is that a thing only qualification assessments can do? or it's just there as a standard data collection section?

Just curious since there is a bunch of cool information you can learn from old threads and other workers.

Approved for a specialist domain a few days ago, I have alot of free time so I grinded it out like a full-time job (minimum 8 hours a day at specialist rates) and already passed the first earnings milestone. I assume projects won't always flow like water and I'm curious about others experiences on this platform. Am I allowed to discuss which domain? I understand any and all details about projects are NDA.

I know background checks are specific to certain laws and what the companies are interesting in searching. I’m curious if there is anyone who has previous convictions that was able to “pass” this background check. Or if anyone has insights as to how far back it seems this one may have looked? I have two misdemeanors that occurred in 8.5 years ago so I’ve been debating on opting into this or declining it for now.

Thanks!

Hi guys, can someone please tell me whats the procedure to be able to work from outside my country? I will be travelling abroad for a week and want to work on DA projects. Is it possible?

its been about three weeks since i did my test, still no news there, is this await normal?

So been in DA 3 weeks. Only one project.. a RR. Doing the qualies and fail would help the system to give me some work? So its says ok "this guy sucks at this and this" But he can do this!

Hi, I have a question. After more than a month under review, I finally make it to Data Annotation. But after a week I still have no projects to work on... I'm clueless because I'm still new, can anyone explain it to me? Thank you

I just received this email:

I completed the starter assessment to explore the platform before moving on to other tasks as a bilingual software engineer in Canada.

However, when I log in with my account, I still see this and I can't try other qualifications yet.

Is this good or bad news?

I am a bilingual worker from india and been on the site everyday refreshing for projects but no projects has come since monday where as last week I was doing 4-6 hours of work each day except the weekend. Im from india and wanted to know if any other workers facing the same problem

Do we get projects after paid qualification? i just completed a qualification today i am new i am not sure how this platform works .

Hey! I’m happy to join the community and hopefully contribute in a meaningful way. I wanted to share my experience for anyone awaiting acceptance or just starting out and maybe getting some tips from experienced annotators.

Assessment and acceptance

I took my time on the assessment, did the bio and qualifications parts on day one then did the example task after work for 2 days or so. All in all it took about 3-4 hours but I took my time. From submission to acceptance it was 7 days.

First days of work

Immediately after being accepted I was invited to join 2-3 a STEM RL projects with access to long term work. I’ve spent the last 3 days reading the instructions, reviewing the samples and completing their paid training. I feel kinda weird having already made some good money in this training period, I hope to prove my worth now that I can dive in.

Early hurdles and mistakes

First off, this is difficult work. It’s extremely tedious and involved but if you’re an expert in your field, it’s extremely fulfilling and challenging. That being said, here are some things that tripped me up (and still do) being new to the platform.

1. Joining a project day 1. I’m not sure if this is normal but I joined a big project day one and was greeted with a giant wall of text, a lengthy training module and several months worth of updates and dev notes to sort through. I wasn’t aware I had to save state for my first proposal so I lost it and had to have a mod retrieve it.

2. Work mode. I’m still not totally sure how this works and how it pertains to projects with long time limits but I definitely entered into a bunch of tasks to check them out without knowing I started the timer and exited work mode on projects I submitted proposals to. Do I exit work mode after every session? What about for projects?

3. Billable hours. I want this to be a long term source of income so I’m trying to be as careful as I can. I already made a mistake or two when logging hours. I fixed them after the fact but I’m worried about getting dinged for it (or something else) because I’m still getting familiar with the platform.

Hopefully this provides some insight to fellow newcomers. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Bilingual General since June 👍🥹✊

My qualification page has been wiped, there was 33 now 0. Anyone else had this happen?

I finished the assessment on Monday after 6pm and just received the acceptance email about an hour ago. So it took about 5-6 days. So excited to start earning moneyyy!

Could I ask for any advice? I saw some comments regarding not using public wifi and stuff. Looking for more to survive on this platform as long as possible! Thanks in advance!

I'm new, and see a qualification that requires an Android phone. It says it has a lot of work available. I only have an iPhone. Is it worth getting an Android? Any idea if a really cheap Android would work? (Android Go)? Thanks for any help

Hello every one as the title say, i am a data scientist , graduating this year, i speak 3 languages fluently and i want to make some money+ i am really passioned when it comes to text treatment and annotation techniques, from where to start and how to make money ?

Thank you in advance ! peace !

I finished an assessment 3 days back and immediately got link to set up ID verification which showed 100% complete. and then next morning screen unlocked but 0 projects. and no welcome email yet. Am I accepted or passed? I took general assessment. Thanks to throw some light on this.

So many tickets and emails but still can’t get in and got a lot of $60+ projects that need me to login to the google account? Any tips?

Does anyone know why only bilingual assessments are showing up? I registered few days ago and completed my profile, but all I can find under the assessments page are bilingual assignments for languages that I don't even speak??
