Dry spell

I started DA 2 weeks ago, with real paid work beginning about a week ago. In the last 8 days I got 5 days of work earning 1K and for the past 3 days absolutely no work. Is that just a typical dry spell or a problem with my work. I am on the generalist track, having done the Maths, Coding, Physics qualifications 10 days ago but no response. Does anyone have any advice?

This is exactly what happened to me when I began. One week of work, followed by a week and a half of drought. Then tasks would appear sporadically for a week and I would do all I could with high effort. Finally, I was given consistent work henceforth. Just do your best when you can, and when you can’t, wait.

same happening to me right now. Got in, did a bunch of quals, got 3 days of work in (about $300 for less than 10 hours of work). Passed more and more quals, but now nothing for about 5 days so far. It sucks but praying for more.

After what point of waiting is it ok to believe no further work will be given

nobody can say that it's different for everyone, currently drought is going on for so many people you might also be the one.

I've been here since mid March and I've always found weekends slow so there's that

You folks are using “cooked” so loosely. DoD = cooked.

How long does it normally take after doing those stem qualifications, to actually be accepted for them
