google quality rater

It seems that Lionbridge only hires for Google outside of the United States. In the US the only authorized companies are WFL and Kelly.

I think the answer would be no, because you would be doing the exact same job. LB hires for Google not for Live search. [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]
Now that i finally came out of my lurking closet, i have to say THANK YOU [img]smileys/smiley10.gif[/img] Reading through this thread before applying was so much help and still is after 2 months rating!

I don't work for Lionbridge, so I don't really know other than what I have read here, but....

I initially thought that Lionbridge = Google and then someone posted that Lionbridge = MSN. I wonder if may be Lionbridge does contracting for both?

I also don't like the fact that they removed the old spam and rating examples as well as the spam by language exam,ples. The new ones are too general or too specific with limited content. The 40 page guideline is more useful than this one on a page per page basis, this one is pretty much spam I don't like the fact that they removed the chicken breast recipe example since I applied that to everything hehe.

I agree with NewName, I think the new guidelines are more specific. What I found when I clicked thru the new "spam" links was spam that was in English, Japanese and other languages, I thought it was good. I also found some info in there that I didn't realize and this is my 2nd year as a rater. I and Generally get good report cards (does that really matter don't know).

I think this guideline is more specific and better written. Yeah there is still stuff that isn't spelled out, but since rating is somewhat like a survey they can't please everyone, if they did then we'd be clones.

I have definitely found some new and better stuff in the new guidlines.

that is also what I thought....I also heard that Lionbridge also pays less than Google (Workforcelogic)..I was wondering why not do both at the same time...msn and google ratingEdited by: rjparga

On thecover sheet for SxS Rating Guidelines there is a mention of "if you are a Lionbridge rater"... Edited by: chrispe

I think that Lionbridge hires for both, they have two positions for Quality Raters on their site. I think the temporary position is for Google while the permanent position is for MSN. I had a friend who worked for Lionbridge. He was a permanent employee and he was rating for MSN.

I have not heard yet either and thought we would by now as last week they sent the 'congrats' email on Thursday. I thought they are busy with the new guidelines coming out and all.

I haven't received the second email yet either. I also assumed they're pretty busy this week.
