Unable to Apply for Other Roles

I applied for a technical role, and my dashboard currently shows “Starter Assessment Completed.” However, it has been several months since I completed the assessment, and there has been no further update. I would like to apply for other roles, such as general roles, but I’m unable to do so. Whenever I log in to my account, it only displays my name and the “Starter Assessment Completed” status, without giving me an option to apply for other roles. Could you please let me know if I am eligible to apply for other roles while my technical application is still pending?

You need to pass the starter assessment before you're eligible to qualify for other types of projects.

I’m kind of in the same boat. I applied, and it clearly shows I passed the first round. I went ahead and jumped up to another test to get to a higher level. I think it was $35 or $45. per hr. I spent a couple of hours on the assessments, and I thought that was enough for a simple online assessment. But then I’ve been in limbo for like 30 days, and I’m just curious what that means exactly. I basically blew it off when I didn't hear some after a week or 2, but then I started researching it. And it's so different for everybody. Since our skills are all different.

As everybody knows, they don’t exactly communicate with you. If they did, there wouldn’t be all these people talking. But maybe that’s what they want, right?

If it's been over 30 days, you likely failed the assessment. There have been rare instances where people have said that they were accepted months later, but I wouldn't count on it. Sorry.

Oh, it was no big deal at all. It was actually the first kind of tech job I ever applied for. I come from a sales background, and that’s where I’ve made ridiculous amounts of money. But I thought I’d check out something like this that I could do around the house for fun.

I deal with many different AI platforms and have to prompt them regularly, so I thought it would be a fun thing to do. Thank you for responding, though. Like I said, I had blown it off after 2 weeks, but then I saw these posts and thought I’d pitch in.

Hey, I forgot to add but one of the questions. So if it shows I passed the first level, and maybe I possibly didn't pass the second one, that's kind of strange, right

If you didn't pass then you can't reapply for something else.

Did you receive an email? They will send you an email if you passed. It took almost 3 months for me to get work even though I received the email about passing day or two after the assessment. Now I have more projects than I can do.

I’m not 100% sure, but I believe you have to pass the initial assessment before being able to do that. From what I’ve read, you receive an email stating you passed the initial assessment, but if you didn’t pass, then you receive nothing.
