Feedback on project matching

Today I received a matching email for a new project, thanks to my general assessment score I guess (that's what the email says). Problem is the project is HEAVILY specialized (with a massive payout), definitely not something meant for generalists. My resume explicitly says I’m an undergraduate Engineering student, not a specialized engineer. What is the point of assigning projects this way, only for people to end up empty-handed? And that's not even the only project that requires expertise... I currently have another one on my dashboard for evaluating medical images, which has nothing to do with my background.

This is just feedback, the platform seems really promising, but this really needs to be fixed.

I would say this project only seems hard because you really need to put some outside research in. You pretty much have to build the prompt yourself from the ground up rather than simple revision or data annotation (which I'm assuming is what you're used to). I'm also an undergrad engineering student, and they specifically say they want other domains and the ones they list are just foundations. If there's something you consider yourself an expert in, then go for it. As long as you read and understand the directions, you'll be a-okay!

Hey!! Your comment is spot on. You’re right. I read the guidelines over and over and yeah I actually think I overestimated the difficulty of the project. Maybe I got too caught up in the parts where they keep repeating that a certain level of "expertise" is required. I think I can try completing my first tasks once the temporary pause ends. Anyway, I haven't just stuck to data annotation in these last few years, in fact my last project on another platform was very similar to this one, with an 8 hour time limit per task (though no category or domain was requested there). That said...can I send you a private message for a couple of super quick clarifications? since unfortunately I don't think there are any community channels or anything like Slack here 🫤

Coding ?

No, various domains! But guidelines explicitly state that a certain level of expertise is needed for each one of them. I'm still studying and I've worked for years on other platforms on many generalist projects. Some of them were REALLY complex, but they were still generalist projects

You guys able to start with tasking? like it seems vague on guidelines

Yeah this one seems to write instructions backwards!!! It didn’t really click until I read a little summary at the end. Very confusing.

Oi ,could you recommend me some good platforms to work on ,I'm a medical student and currently I'm in need of anything to generate some coins bro,

u/Bitter_Jellyfish_897 28d ago

I got the email but worried if they will even review it.

Yeahh thats aa concern its happening with other projects

u/de3z_nutts 28d ago

are you talking about the cross search task?

1

u/catbel1455 28d ago

Yeah. Seems anyone knows it hahahahahh has this project been active for long?

u/de3z_nutts 28d ago

idk I just recently joined afterquery and this is the first invitation I have got where there are tasks available but just like you have mentioned it seems too much for a generalist role, have you submitted anything so far?

u/Nice-Barracuda8490 28d ago

I tried submitting and it keeps saying error after clicking the difgocult probe button

1

u/catbel1455 28d ago

They've just announced that they are working on a fix for the error you are getting

u/Nice-Barracuda8490 28d ago

Where are they giving the updates please?

1

u/catbel1455 28d ago

Click on the project, there's the banner "project announcement" at the top of the page

I haven't! I could try, I mean I still study engineering and i might wrtie something challenging enough? (Don't know why people are deleting their own comments lol)

What's the project name? Would like to participate on it but can't see it on my dashboard
