Or is there a way that you have found that works better? I'm trying to not recreate the wheel =)

You're welcome christinichka! [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img] Someone on the forum had recommended and it "saved the day" for me.

I have the project titlessaved, then they daily show up on my Timer list.


I ALWAYS save my tasktime if I am taking a break, or am interrupted. After having lost info, I'd rather take the extra few seconds than go through trying to remember all the times on the different projects. Also, if you save your timeyou can view it inthe report.

My main problem using the timerhas been forgetting to turn it back on if I am interrupted for a few minutes after I have turned it off.

Any of you upcoming test takers apply for languages other than English? I applied for English and Spanish. Wondering if this new group is mostly foreign language since I know Calebsworkinmom also applied for Spanish.

For those who are English only, was there a line that read something like, "you will rate in your language but all testing and communication will be in English." Just wondering if this is a form email they send everyone or only the foreign language raters. I'm still not sure what language they want me to do.

For those foreign language raters out there, are comments and ratings for the job turned in, in English? Do you find you are offered enough tasks?

Thanks for your help everyone!

Sorry to be a pest. [img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img] I need to ask again.

Once the test is done, and assuming I pass, how long until the conference call? Do they offer more than one call to choose from?

After the conference call how long until the start date?


TIA!

Do I need to comment on all of the ratings or just ones that I mark as spam, etc?

You do need to comment on every U** task for the first two weeks. (I'm almost positive it was two weeks, can anyone back me up?)

Need to vent, grr...

A few days ago someone posted about "rough" resolution, possibly raters going too quickly hoping to make bonus.

Tonight has been awful! Feel like people made up their own guidelines and ran with it. Anyone else having problems?

It was for the first 3 weeks when I started in April, but comments are always required when marking spam.

I've seen the same today and yesterday, and on really basic concepts too. I agree with your bonus theory; earlier in this thread people mention not qualifying for the bonus because they fell below a certain metric even though they worked enough hours.

It is the basics! Only one or two of us are pasting DL messages...
I hope this doesn't deter WL from giving future bonuses...
