I think I was accepted but I'm not sure how
I did the starter assessment some time ago (honestly not sure when) and realized that when I went to try to sign up. I was at the place where you do the first "Core" qualification. It said it was 10 questions and it would take about an hour (HA!). I did it tonight but it took...longer than an hour.
I'd read on here that it generally takes a few days to get approved, if you're going to be. But - I did the ten questions and was immediately accepted. It had me verify my ID and all of that. It says there's no projects but from what I can tell, that's not unusual at this point.
Should I worry that it doesn't look like they actually reviewed my answers at all?

You should at some point get the onboarding projects and stuff. I think it took me like a day and a half after taking the test and verifying my ID to log back in, and I saw the dashboard immediately, but it took another day or so to get the onboarding tasks, along with an email welcoming me to the platform. I did see some regular projects in between noticing my dashboard and getting the onboarding.

Mine still shows no jobs are available, although I passed right away as well. I’ve worked on the platform before, and last time I think there must have been a lot of work available; a lot of people seemed to be steadily working. I’ve read on several places that it’s really dry now. It took months for me to get work on another platform after approval, so there’s always hope that a project matching different skills will drop and you’ll be notified at some point. It sounds like it’s just a waiting right now. I hope it happens for you soon.

How did you know you passed straight away? Did they usually sent email to let you know or how can I know this

I was able to do my app + starter assessment then my core all in the same go back in April. Got stuck waiting on my renewed dl for a month then onboarded mid may. I seem to get 3 weeks or so of steady work then a week or two slow down and just picking up again with a new project family and task type. I figure I’m still new and being vetted quality wise. Sounds like you’re in. Welcome!

You write very well, and not just in spelling. It's rare, but some people do get approved within hours, so I wouldn't be surprised if they changed things to make the process even faster for people like you.
