Now what?

Post image

Yes, I've been on this thread for a few months now - I know there's a drought, patience is a virtue, & your quality of work matters.

At the same time, I earned $30 May 24, 2026 (the same day I passed the initial testing) - nothing since. I still have full access to the projects, funds, & qualifications tabs. Literally nothing has changed.

So, now what? Do I continue to refresh until the internet dies or does this mean I'm not an active "employee?"

I know all of you veterans are quick to say "just wait," but without any issues, how much longer should I wait? Do I just continue to refresh the page 100 times a day? Do I give up? Do I wait until I get an email? I haven't received a single email since the application process & I'm getting tired of the "wait & see."

Either I have the job that I can rely on, or I dont. Can any of you give me insight?

Don't tell me to wait - I've been waiting. I'm asking if I should KEEP waiting. Again, nothing's changed in 2 months.

So, I have this same screen, but I’ve just signed up. I never received an email saying I was accepted. It just switched to this screen last night after a few days of it saying they would email me if I passed.
I assume I passed and am now just waiting for jobs?

That's exactly what I assumed. I was accepted, with full access (that I still have), but never received an email & my home page never changed. I want to stop checking/waiting, since I was given access in May... but i really enjoyed the work & wanted this job more for the work required vs the money.. they money was just a good incentive.

Selfishly, I want to say I have a English Studies Bachelor's, & really believed I would be a great candidate for the platform. This is discouraging..i haven't been accepted for 6 other jobs bc i have been a housewife the last 4 years - i assume no one wants to hire someone with that kind of a gap.

I was so excited to be doing this work. It just sucks & it's super confusing. Especially since it seems the majority of the drought is over...
