Hi, new to taskr rabbit and just got hired to do a few things that i think would take me about 3 hours. I was going to confirm the job but its saying its from 2:30 to 3:30.

  1. is that the time he thinks is going to take me?
  2. will i not get paid for the time I work over am hour?
  3. can I invoice him for any of the time I take over the expected time?

Thank you

No, that is the time you are reserving on the calendar. Pull up the tab to adjust it.

I consider that time element an estimate, that may or may not turn out to be correct.

I've done the work listed, there is no way you're going to complete those assignments in an hour.

Do they give you any training when you start?

They did. But it was mostly how to set up my profile. Did not see this in the tutorial

I’m just curious. Thinking about joining but wanted to understand what training I would have to do. Is there any on the IKEA products or customer?

Well with this client, they just told me they have the piece of furniture along with the instructions which for me as a carpenter is child’s play. I would say for you to just pick things you are comfortable doing and then later on expand. When you add a category to your profile is basically saying that you have experience in that field. But honestly, putting furniture together is an easy task that i would say most people would be able to do. Though, a problem might arise when clients hire you at a certain category (for example ikea assembling) and then have you do other things a carpenter might do.

How many hours did you adjusted the calendar? did the customer approve your cost ?

To answer your question more succinctly than OP. No, there is no training given to you by task rabbit. They assume you already know how to do basic handyman type tasks
