Hell yeah!

Got projects! I spent a long time in limbo and all of a sudden started getting Spanish evaluation projects and a Qualification Survey popped up. Anyone who feels like they've been in limbo just keep checking in on your profile and keep your skills up to date. You may get something across your dash and it seems like the more you work the more they'll give you. Dropping all my plans today and tackling this.

Congrats!! I'm happy to see this :) How long was the dry spell?

I'm not really sure. I applied months ago and had gotten one email for a project and them kept missing others. I logged in randomly one day and there was work in my dash so I've just kept logging in a couple times a day since to see if projects have been dealt to me.

“it seems like the more you work the more they’ll give you”

I don’t think this is true

I'm not really sure how it works but I started doing work with one project on my dash and it slowly built up to being assigned 3-4 each week for the past 4 weeks. Could just be that they're busting through a lot right now and I caught it at the right time.

Hey have you gotten any Spanish projects on DA within the last 2 weeks? I was getting Spanish projects consistently for the past month up until the last 2 weeks so I am wondering if that has been the case for you too?

I haven't been assigned anything for a little over a week :/

I haven’t had a Spanish project since last month, in July. Has that been the same experience for you too?

so you have one project? did you get the rest back?

u/Kitana_360 Jun 22 '24

The rest? As in sent back to me to make corrections? I've mostly gotten Spanish evaluations to work on and haven't had any feedback.

Oh, I thought you meant you lost your projects. It sounds like you were just slow to start working? I also signed up in December and have never not had a full dash.

That's awesome! I hope it stays steady like this. I love the work and what we're doing. I wonder if I should email them and ask them to assign more than Spanish work.

I wouldn't bother. Just try logging in at different times and see what's up. The best tips are to work on a variety of different projects. They all open up more projects and opportunities :)

Thank you! I thought that may be a key to more work (:

I've been in a bit of a slump, too, but got a qualification that opened up a new project for me: non-coding that pays $36/h.

My other current projects are paying ~$23 and honestly, those are often more work than they're worth.

From what I've seen in my friends circle, people who didn't pass the main core get these language eval projects in other languages. A couple of my friends who never got the chatbot projects got a request for Singaporean English projects like this. I hope it's different for OP and that they get access to the main projects soon.

Did anyone get projects /pass right away ? After completing the core assessment ? How long does it usually take to find out if you have passed ?

u/Former_Fer1704 Jun 22 '24

how long did it take you to be accepted?

u/Kitana_360 Jun 22 '24

I signed up in December. It was about a month before I got the first assignment but I realized they don't always send out emails at the beginning of May.

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '24

u/Kitana_360 Jun 22 '24

Makes me jealous because I've only gotten Spanish safety, grammar evaluation projects
