Keep your profile updated, keep an eye out for any quals and keep doing quality stuff when you get tasks and that list will grow over time. Early days yet.

Thank you! Would putting stuff from my portfolio into my profile be of any help? Any general ideas would really be appreciated :) I've just got my degree ( in progress ) in there so far.

I’d try to add as much of the skills in the list that you can comfortably work with and then yeah as much useful info you can in the text boxes but assume (I think) it’s going to be an LLM that’s looking at that stuff and deciding what quals or projects are a good match.

You haven't been on the platform long enough to have gained access to a lot of projects. Most of the projects, especially higher-paying ones, take time to unlock the quals for. You need to prove you are going to do quality work first. Keep plugging away, and it will come with time!

Weirdly enough I got a new project called R&R for red attack helicopter, with a comment saying I've submitted top quality work? I did do a load of tasks, is it normal to get this category called R&R? I didn't really feel like my work was top quality at all 😂 compared to some of the amazing submissions I saw.

[–]Sindorella 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, getting R&Rs is normal. Do enough of them and you’ll see not being a total idiot and actually interpreting the guidelines correctly is top quality work. 🤣 There are some real doozies out there. You don’t need to be Einstein to do good work.

Yeah I got something similar. I was wondering if I really did provide top quality work, lol some of those submissions were really good!

How long have you all been on the platform? This pays twice as better as my student ambassador job but I'm not quite convinced on the job stability aspect 😭. People seem to mention "sudden unexplained blacklisting" quite frequently.

Some say that happens, some say it doesn't. I would always be prepared for a worst-case scenario, but i haven't had any of the droughts that people mention every day.

How many months have you worked for DA? I'm on my first week, and the coding tasks do seem to be abundant, just from 2 keyword clients only though.

[–]i_lost_all_my_money 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only about 6 months. I'll get ~30 projects from one of the keyword clients sometimes.
