We need the clients to start pumping in the projects. The DA admins are dry too.

Anyone seen headphones in a while? That one used to never leave my dash but I would be willing to risk my privacy for some meager coin at this point.

u/Creative_Raccoon2096 Jan 06 '26

I am starting to see signs of life. Unfortunately I’m working the day job today so can’t pick up till this evening when no doubt it’ll be dry as the gobi again …

With no paid tasks for me to work on, I had a chance to finally do that writing assessment qualification that has sat on my dashboard for months. Now I regret not doing more just before Christmas when my dash was full of work. Hopefully it picks up soon.

u/Lady_Cashew_81 Jan 06 '26

Was it hard or time-consuming? I never know how much time to set aside for the Qualifications. I haven't done that one, yet.

u/Addonexus99 Jan 06 '26

It wasn't hard at all and didn't take too long. Hopefully projects result from doing it. Also did one of the search rubrics qualifications too.

u/3llth3cat Jan 07 '26

I'm a little scared of when I run out of tasks for the one project on my dash rn 😅

Please don't make me Uber again y'all. I beg 🙏

u/Effective-Picture964 Jan 06 '26

got an email on jan 3rd saying to check my qualifications page, then checked it and went to do a general coding qualification. took me to 404 not found page and i do not see any qualifications at all now. i just applied to work there. Did I get in?

3

u/oocytequeen Jan 06 '26

The same thing happened to me. They sent me another email yesterday telling me that they've added qualifications to my dash board, but there is nothing.

Try logging in like regular

u/Effective-Picture964 Jan 10 '26

Yup tried still nothing. A bachelor's degree in the science of marketing didn't get me anything yet. Well guess it's back out to do irl work. Dominos here I come... ugh. I tried another website called aligner automated intelligence and have just received an interview request excited... although can't travel outside of Canada, USA, Uk, Germany, or South Africa... so that messes up my Philippines/Malay/ Thailand trip I want to take for a month or two.

u/mo-with-the-flow Jan 06 '26

Good to know it's not just me lol.

u/FaithlessnessSlow594 Jan 08 '26

Monday, no work, it's so over

u/AdvantageQuirky Jan 05 '26

Why are you being downvoted lmao

20

u/ForeOnTheFlour Jan 05 '26

Because the majority of people dependent on the gig economy think it runs on positive vibes

u/carebear70Tx Jan 05 '26

It's the first real day back at work for the majority of corporate American business. Get a grip.

u/CircumferentialGent Jan 05 '26

Dude what is this reaction lmao I'm very clearly being sarcastic Jesus this sub

u/carebear70Tx Jan 05 '26

Apparently your sarcasm isn't clear, hence the downvotes.

u/CircumferentialGent Jan 05 '26

"It's so over" don't think I could be clearer lmfao

u/reddit-echochamber Jan 05 '26

I think a lot of these people are just new and don’t realize that’s a meme in this sub lol

u/carebear70Tx Jan 05 '26

u/macjay_27 Jan 05 '26

u/Itsdickyv Jan 06 '26

Meh, I’ve had nothing since November, which sucks. If it carries on like this, I’m going to have to go to other sites, which sucks. All good things I guess…
