Working for Lionbridge offers excellent flexibility to work at home. One of the downsides is, there are not enough work tasks to complete for the day, which means more small jobs less pay.

How are the working hours at Lionbridge? What is Lionbridge sick leave policy?
How many sick days do you get per year? This is just an opinion based article and I found it helpful. I'm taking the test tomorrow, but this article is wacky. You didn't even pass, but yet feel the need to make yourself feel better about it. I think the best type of job for you is just talking about stuff, like this. Leave the real work to those that can. I've been working for Lionbridge for almost 5 years, now as a senior rater.
Best part time job ever. Work whenever you feel like it, for however long you want, anywhere there is internet access. When I wrote this article I only attempted the test once and decided not to try again but I am so happy that it worked out for you! Thank you for your comment, at the time of writing I focused simply on sharing my experience in doing the test and didn't think beyond that. Please bear with me! Thanks for the article.
Howeever, I would have like example of other works we can do. I was about to apply with them than I won't. I actually just started working for Lionbridge 3 weeks ago. It took a month to hear back after applying but once I did, I was working roughly 3 weeks later. The work is simple, but at the same time involves a lot of critical thinking and is very face paced.
This isn't one of those search engine evaluator jobs you can milk for hours. Again, I'm only a few weeks in, but so far I think this might be the only job I ever had that I didn't hate. I have three kids and being able to earn money to support them without leaving the house is pretty sweet. They make us pay our own taxes, which sucks for a lot of people, but the EITC will still take care of all that for poor people with kids like myself. The only thing I don't like is the fact that one day I'll probably get fired or the program will end.
Reply to Ninyano: if putting people down makes you feel better about yourself, that's your prerogative. The comments on here so far have simply expressed different viewpoints from different types of experiences, either positive or negative. It's a shame that constructive criticism is a dying art.
You are not really contributing anything of value with your insights into what you presume is a lack of my abilities and intelligence. But hey it's a free world. Thank you anyway for reading the article and taking the time for commenting. The more comments, the better my article will rank on Google.
Just because you don't have the ability either to apply written instructions or the ability to apply those instructions without assistance, doesn't give you the ability to evaluate the position. That's ok also. The world needs people to pick weeds and people to use templates who say they have a website.
Although, the former may be also beyond your ability. Hi, thank you for your comments Natasha and Melissa. Yes, I admit I ended up not working for Lionbridge but I also believe that self-awareness is very useful in life, therefore if you that you won't be enjoying a specific type of job, why endure the suffering?
I agree, the selection process is too lengthy and not enough explanation is given for rejections and for quality control. If you have to study a book before applying for a job, you might as well join the civil service or other well-paid role. While it makes business sense, for a freelancer the return on investment is laughable and you make more money doing a cleaning job. In conclusion: thank you for reading the article and for commenting, the conversations have been very interesting here and I appreciate it.
I have just started working for Lionbridge as a rater. I find the work extremely time consuming. I am not able to fulfill even to 10 hours per week requirement, since each for which the estimated time provided is 10 minutes actually takes somewhere around 30 mins to research etc. I tried to speed up my work however that affected the quality and my account was put under review. And very often there are no tasks as well.
Also I have not yet received any payment for the past month. I am hoping that it gets better for me as I need this work. I applied for this company and the people that say your "opinion" is wrong are also entitled to their opinion.
I, however, must disagree with them. I, too, thought the application process was much too tedious. I also grade SAT essays and had to do training and testing for the company I do that with but I was paid for training and at a much better rate than Lion Bridge was willing to pay.
I made it all the way to round 3 of the testing and then they sent me my rejection e-mail. I am a bit astonished that they say you don't really need to have any particular skill yet they make you take these tests that are quite hard. Yes, the study materials are pages long. That was another deterrent but I did give it my all. I wish I would have passed because it would have been a nice extra income, however, I also believe that I would have been bored to tears.
Opinions cannot be wrong or nonsensical, they are opinions and even though the author hasn't actually worked for them, she was mainly commenting on the application process. I am not sure why this has occurred my only explanation is that I was trying to study the exam material via my smartphone you have on file. I was having my husband bring me my laptop in a few hours so I can obtain the materials and study. I really hope that this could be reconsidered.
I am the only person that touches my phone and my laptop. Hi, thank you for your comments. Please make sure you read information about Lionbridge from several sources as my article is an opinion piece about my frustrating experience.
I appreciate that thousands of people have had positive experiences with the company and I am genuinely happy for them. Have a look at online reviews from several websites - some reviews may have been sponsored while others will be genuine reviews. The best thing I can suggest is to try working for different companies and see which one you like best, but of course this will be time-consuming.
But hey, then you can write a Hub about it like I did! Best of luck and, as we are approaching Christmas, Merry Christmas everybody! Thank you for stopping by. Well, I got to this page looking for some information about the internet assessor position to see whether to apply or not since I have been informed Lionbridge is hiring in my country right now. I just submitted my application, since I dont consider 20 hours a week a non flexible job.
Anyway, I just havent heard about the payment and I guess I will not be informed until they decide if I got the job! Thanx for the reviews :. Hi everybody, apologies for taking so long to check your comments - some interesting insights!
I can see that some of you really love the company and some had a less satisfactory experience. I guess that workload may vary according to each country, so for example in the UK you may have less projects and therefore less opportunities to earn compared to the US. When I wrote this article I simply wanted to share my experience with you and decided that this type of project work is not for me but I am delighted that some of you are making a good living out of it.
I worked for LeapForce, another company that does search engine testing, as a part-time work-from-home evaluator. I presume that employment pros and cons between the two companies is similar.
Here are the things about working for LeapForce that really irked me:. But no matter how hard I worked, every time I completed a session, I would get a nasty-gram telling me that my productivity rate was not acceptable.
And added to that:. I emailed the support line asking if there was any way to predict work availability, but I did not get a reply. And finally:. I've been a search evaluator with Lionbridge for more than two years now. It's definitely not a job for everyone. It takes motivation and discipline to work unsupervised from home. Lionbridge provides all training material and holds several webinars each month.
Those who put the time into learning will definitely do well. I found the hardest part was studying the training material in order to pass the exams. The concepts are kind of strange at first and there is so much to absorb.
The exams aren't hard to pass and it's open book. It took about a month from the time I applied until I was officially working as a search evaluator. Most crowd-sourcing jobs actually pay pennies per hour. But Lionbridge pays significantly better. Each month I am able to pay my bills and even help out my elderly parents with some of their's too. The job pays well for those who do the work.
Anyone considering a crowd-source job should definitely apply to Lionbridge first. If you are chosen to proceed with the hiring process, take your time to study the training material. Once you pass the exams, attend all training webinars and study the training material as it is updated. Do all this and you will do well. I worked for Lionbridge for about 8 months July - March The hiring process was extremely simple and quick.
The training was self paced - it took me a few hours over a 2 day period. I don't recall there being pages or an actual exam - the protocol may have changed between the time I started and you applied. I'm a teacher full time so the work was great during the summer when I was home. Once the school year started I was obviously working evenings during the week and weekends to complete my 20 hours. The pay was great for taking care of all of the extras that come along in life - especially with 2 children.
Everything was going great until November when the work began to dry up - task shortages became all too common. There may have been more tasks available during the weekdays but of course with me teaching full time I wasn't able to log on until the evenings.
Eventually I received an email from Lionbridge in early March stating that US markets for internet assessors were ending although someone whom I had referred to Lionbridge was hired at almost the same time as I was being fired. Just as quickly I was hired I was released. I had only received feedback regarding my performance in the very beginning once I had finished training so I don't know if I wasn't meeting their expectations or whatever. It served its purpose while it lasted - I guess I wasn't really too upset considering it was only a part time job to supplement my real income.
I don't know that I could have enough faith in the way Lionbridge operates to ever depend on it as my primary source of employment. Thanks to all of you who commented. I am genuinely happy for you making a good living from this website and wish you all the best. I've been an internet assessor for like two years now.
The work isn't exciting, but it's steady and pays well for the effort required. The tests require studying but if you went to college or even a competitive they're really not crazy-hard. You have not worked for them, so you don't even know what the real job looks like.
It is not a mechanical job, we must develop a criteria based on the guidelines and apply it in different scenarios. Is very challenging because most of the times we use our best judgment.
The tasks are very unpredictable and surprising. And it is totally false to say that we can't apply our criteria and opinion, they do ask our comments and suggestions.
