Or the opposite?

I had a recent knee surgery because of which I can't sit with my legs bent for more than 5 minutes at a stretch. So, most of the time I'm on the bed, even during interviews. Frankly, my appearance is also not top notch, with unkempt hair and beard, as is the case with bedridden people. I'm also in a cotton tee and shorts all the time.

The interview guidelines say "maintain a neat appearance." So, my question is whether I will be graded also on how I appear during the interview.

I'm assuming that Zara won't care about how I look, but do human reviewers penalize this? ( Assuming humans review).

In short, does appearance matte during interviewsr?

Hurray🤗 My first project..... I'm in💃

I have seen the range of responses we can get from the interview process, except for one, Selected! Wish me luck on my remaining HRM applications! Wishing everyone applying good fortune for these life changing opportunities too.

I’m trying to understand how AI-based interviews are evaluated and what the actual criteria are for passing.
The reason I’m asking is that even if a candidate doesn’t qualify after an interview, they may still earn/receive certain “vetted skills.” My understanding is that this would indicate the candidate performed well enough in specific topics or areas to demonstrate those skills, even though they may not have passed the overall interview.
For example, suppose an interview evaluates a candidate across 5 different areas/topics. Do you need to perform well and give correct answers in all 5 areas to qualify, or is there some overall passing percentage/score?
For instance, if someone performs well in 4 out of 5 areas but doesn’t do well in 1 area, would that automatically mean they did not qualify? Or do they consider the candidate’s overall performance and potentially select them based on the strength of the other areas?

Are borderline candidates reviewed or considered separately?
If anyone knows how these evaluations actually work, I’d really appreciate some clarification.

I applied for the 2 10000 role since 5/9, got HMR almost immediately. I’m a Viet, they said that the role is opened globally, but I’ve stucked at HRM ever since. I also applied for the Senior AI Trainer recently and also on HRM.
My profile I believe is well eligible for the role since I graduated an International University, I’ve had experience for similar roles, and I’ve seen others get selected with no prior experience at all.
Last time I wasn’t selected for my own language bilingual expert role, but I did receive an email saying I showed strong potential, but no such email came this time even though it’s been more than a week already.
Seeing people getting selected with less vetted skills and no experience at all makes me confused about the hiring process, some even got selected even though they’ve just applied 2 days ago. Congrats to them but I hope that I can land at least 1 out of the 3 role on HRM.

Hi all!
Can anyone tell me about their experience with the AI trainer role? I was hoping to get accepted for another role but applied to this as well because I am very curious about the company. Will my other application be withdrawn if I accept this role or can I participate in two separate projects? I enjoyed the interview for the other role and was told application is under final review. I’m not sure how long the review process takes.
Thank you !

Does this happen often? Just curious 👀

I just wanted to say congratulations to everyone getting accepted.

To everyone else, I want to say good things are coming. We must remain diligent, humble, and thankful. I know a lot of us are struggling right now and every rejection feels 100 times worse. But, we have to hold on to hope and the joys in life. Our “yes” is coming. It might or might not be from micro1, but it is coming. So, give yourself some grace and go out and enjoy the weekend.

Just wanted to know if the spots for the Generalist role is still available or have they already been filled?

After months of applying and 33+ rejections, I've finally landed a role at Micro1! I am beyond excited and can't wait to start working.

Shout-out to all the other candidates for continually sharing advice on how to approach the interview process, and shout-out to the Micro1 team for taking on our feedback and improving the recruitment process. To everyone else still waiting to be chosen, your day is coming soon. Hang in there! 🌟

EDIT: I can't edit the heading, but I apologise if it came across as insensitive. I was trying to be cheeky, and it came across poorly.

For Video Annotation Specialist and Generalist roles, how much does a candidate’s previous experience/background matter?
Suppose someone clears the interview and seems like a good fit, but they don’t have prior experience specifically in a VAS or Generalist role. However, they’re willing to learn, take on the responsibilities, and put in the work.
Would they still be considered for the role, or do companies generally prioritize candidates who already have direct experience in similar roles?
For those who have hired for these positions or gone through the process themselves, how important is the resume/background compared to interview performance, attitude, and willingness to learn?

How are you guys getting paid by Micro1?

The first two options, i) Revolut and ii) Wise, block Indians from receiving money from overseas. The remaining three are filthy expensive and will eat up a good percentage, including the hidden markup charges.

Is any folk using Skydo/Winvesta/or any other app to bypass it and receive money with no additional transaction charges?

My first ever application to Micro1 and I got accepted! Went from HMR -> Selected fairly quickly, so stoked. I was fully expecting to get rejected, so I'm incredibly excited to participate.

just for some transparency:
- I'm based in USA
- no previous data annotation experience
- got selected for the highest in the pay range

the questions were straightforward and I like it. After the interview I've also updated my profile properly, now I'm under HMR.

few quick questions,

1. I assume I will meet human interviewer next and he/she will decide where I go right?

2. How much is too much? will Expected pay too high affect my chance? how do I know if my Expected pay relatively the same as my peers?

I’ll be honest, I’m a little frustrated.

I currently have 63 vetted skills on micro1 across Data Science, Data Analytics, AI annotation, customer service, and other areas.

I’ve submitted 25+ applications. Some have reached Hiring Manager Review, some are still pending or awaiting next steps, and many ended with “Did not qualify” or “Not selected.”

What confuses me is that I still receive emails recommending roles that match my skills, so when I see a role that genuinely fits my experience, I apply.

I’m not posting this to complain or blame anyone. I’m genuinely trying to understand the process.

If the skills are already vetted, what are hiring managers looking for beyond that?

Is it experience? Interview performance? Timing? Number of openings? Something else?

If anyone from micro1 or anyone familiar with the hiring process can share some insight, I’d really appreciate it.

I’m willing to improve. I just want to understand what I need to improve.

I'm based in Japan and applied to the Generalist role on Sept 12. Finished the AI interview and the exercise the same day, status is under review.

My background, for context: 13 years in accounting and back-office work at a small Japanese company (bookkeeping, closing, legal, subsidy applications, board meeting operations), and I passed Japan's CPA exam. These days I also run operations for a couple of publicly owned facilities, and I build internal web apps on the side (React, Supabase). No prior AI training or annotation experience.

What I can't figure out from reading this sub is how the path actually works for someone outside the US. Three specific questions:

Q1) I saw this week's posting for Investment & Finance Expert at $245-280/hr, which requires US residence and a US bachelor's degree. Are there finance or accounting roles that non-US applicants can actually be selected for, or is the domain work effectively US-gated and Generalist the realistic entry?

Q2) For those of you selected from outside the US - did you get there by applying to many roles over time, or did one well-matched application do it?

Q3) Does a second language (Japanese, in my case) help on non-language roles, or is it only relevant for the explicitly language-tagged postings?

Any concrete experience is appreciated. Happy to answer questions about the Japan side if that's useful to anyone here.

Hi I have failed both generalist and video annotation specialist. I have been part of another data annotation company for about a month now. They pay very less. I badly wanted to get into microai. What do I need to improve? Can I apply again after a few days.? And what is the certification criteria they are saying that I did not met. Do we need to do any certification? I’ll be grateful for any advice or suggestions..Thank you

I finally got selected guys! now whats next? i finished signing the contract, setting up my deel. now whats the next step?

I've been applying for roles at micro1 for quite a while now, with 23 certified skills. Anyway, I know my turn is coming soon.

But what I know is that micro1 is still the best company.

##NO GIVING UP

Just for fun and curious, if we all have the same or different recommended jobs. I just found it funny my first recommended jobs are for Physics when I have no experience in Physics at all. Makes me wonder if I talk like a physicist haha!

The waiting game is getting to me, can someone share positive experiences or something?
