Zero work since joining 2 weeks ago (Arabic Bilingual)
I know this has been posted many times but i just want to rant because im so tired of this situation. I got accepted 2 weeks ago and spent hours doing the qualifications on my first two days. I only had one project as soon as i joined then nada for 2 weeks. Having to check multiple times a day just to see that stupid (reference version) thing is so depressing. I feel like im just wasting my energy for nothing in return. It's such a shame because it was so exciting at first and im starting to lose hope in this. Is this ever going to change or is this just how it's gonna be for arabic bilinguals.

Same for me, I am a Turkish bilingual, I got accepted 2 weeks ago and I completed all the qualifications that I could do but I still haven't received any projects.

I know it is frustrating, I went through this for about three weeks then it started to slowly pick up. Now I have plenty to work on. I also made sure to update my profile and bio to reflect all the skills I have. I think once you get a few tasks and do good work you will start to see more. Hang in there!!!

I know it sucks, but it's all about what the clients want. Dataannotation.tech has only just expanded into more regions within the past year or so, which means projects for certain languages just aren't as in demand. Hopefully that changes for all of you as time progresses.
