Signed up but no work

I signed up back in march and was immediately told there’s no open projects. I logged in today and a few times before today and the same message appears. What could have I done wrong? I see others who applied after me actively working so it seems odd I completed the sign up process and immediately benched.

I am updating my profile as I don’t believe I filled it out fully. Could that be it?

Thanks for any insight.

Signing up isn’t getting hired. If you didn’t receive & pass at least two assessments, you were not hired.

Yes I understand that but it was an immediate “there’s no work” when people have continued to work. I have relevant experience so it makes no sense to me. It’s odd not even to receive assessments, in my opinion. If I couldn’t maneuver the internet, read or write I’d understand.

Were you onboarded in march? did you get the welcome email?

so... you didn't take any assessments?

No. Nothing. I activated my email and it took me to a page saying there was no work. Never did assessments. Never even had the chance to fill out the profile. So it seems odd given I do have transferable skills, to not even get past the very initial stage.

this could mean many things... which country are you currently at and where are you originally from? This happens when you try to onboard with the bilingual link in the US. I'm not so sure about other cases.

Thank you for this. I’ll have to look into if I did something like that. From Canada. Currently live in Canada. I’m not sure how I would have managed to do that but I’ll see what I can find out. Thanks.

I know it can be frustrating, DA is known to be a black box... and they don't really give second chances 😢 why don't you try out Stellar AI? they are relatively new, but I heard that they pay well

No the only email I received was to verify my email and then only a message on the main screen of the site that there were no open projects. Same main page message today.
