So I have the opportunity to take the Leapforce tests, but is it still worth working for them now and then?

It's worth it for the short term (6 months or so) but gets less so the longer you do it. They're prone to getting rid of people for no reason and the work gets mind numbing after long enough. It's a good paycheck while it lasts though, just don't expect to be doing it a year from now. You might be (some people are) but most people don't last.

6 months is long enough for me, it's just as a side thing to pay down some CC debt.

I failed the second part of that Leapforce exam thingy somehow, despite getting all the practice simulation ones correct :iiam:

I have a feeling that pages that don't load now, but did before still require an answer, although I can't answer it since the page didn't load...

I searched the forums and barely saw mention of my favorite timekeeping program, ManicTime.

So it's like RescueTime? I guess RescueTime is more for tracking productivity rather than work.

I was quoted 13.50 as well. I'm in the application process right now taking the pre-screen tests and such (you get paid if you pass).

Seems interesting, any special links to apply with?

VVVV Thanks

So. . .I failed the Butler Hill test back in July, can I ever reapply again? I was so close too :(

Hopefully I passed, I think I'm very close, but I can't tell with the way they rate it. If not I'd want to reapply because :arghfist:

I do fail I'll check out Lionbridge. I've got extra time so why not earn some extra cash. Are the hours consistent and are they capped at ~20?

Does anyone have experience working with Fancy Hands? I see them around a lot, but haven't seen a lot of feedback.

They are a legit company, but I have no idea what it would be like working for them.

Urge to kill client rising. Got one who's trying to renegotiate a pay rate while I'm in the middle of their tape. About to send them the quarter I've finished an an invoice.

EDIT: Quickly resolved when I offered to send back the tape and let them try to find someone to cover it on a Saturday night. :)
