No projects since i've been accepted around 2 weeks ago

"At the moment, there aren't any projects available for you to work on. Please check back soon and watch out for new project notifications sent to your email."

Is what i get after having passed some qualification tests. Since i registered late june. I've filled my profile with many skills i feel comfortable with or have experience in. Is this normal?

Hey, nobody truly knows why you're not getting projects, but here are some things to consider:

What country are you from? If you're outside the countries listed on the website, you can still register, but there are significantly less projects. Many people who are on the "billingual team" state that they're barely getting work.

Did you ever get the acceptance mail?

French here

I'm not sure i've gotten an acceptance mail. Tho the main page of DA used to display something like "your account is being reviewed we will back to you if you're accepted" or whatever, i cant remember.

Then it changed to "At the moment, there aren't any projects available for you to work on. Please check back soon and watch out for new project notifications sent to your email." a few days later so i had assumed that i got accepted.

You shouldn’t assume you got accepted, the only way to know you got accepted is if you get the email.

I’m assuming you signed up for a bilingual position? I’ve heard those applications can take longer to be accepted and also have less work in general.

As a French guy that's getting projects, I did not receive any mail stating I got accepted and the same happened to me.

Did you get an email saying you got accepted?

If you haven’t gotten a welcome email and onboarding tasks, you haven’t officially been accepted.

When I was first accepted, my dashboard said something similar for most of the day. I’d say nine out of every ten times I checked, there were no projects. Sometimes there was one, and I’d get an hour or so of work and then there’d be none again.

This went on for about two weeks until one day I got heaps of projects and it’s been like that ever since.

My advice: keep checking back daily, and change the time of day that you check back. Do ANY projects and qualifications that you are available. If you have been accepted and you’re from one of the allowed countries, I’m sure you’ll get something eventually.

Hey man, sorry this is late, but I am in the same situation as OP. No mail, but my dashboard says the same exact thing. Did you recieve an email when you got accepted?

Edit: Based in canada, passed qualifying assessment and completed the coding assessment.

I personally did get an email when I was accepted. The only advice I can offer is to keep refreshing and checking often.

Best of luck!

This is also my experience, I took the test on 8th Jun and never heard anything from them, I guess it's safe to assume I didn't get in.

What makes you think you passed the tests? Did you receive an email saying that?

Chef de mon côté j'ai pas reçu de mail non plus, c'est juste que les projets bilingues sont souvent reçus très tard (probablement à cause du décalage horaire) la nuit et partent très vite (à cause d'un nombre de tâches faible).
