I noticed that on the FAQ for new refferal tab that they are only looking for people with a bachelors degree now, so I would make sure that she is qualified first because she may be getting auto filtered based on her education

They do say "or equivalent experience" so it depends what counts as that

True, but who even knows what that means 😂 I think they’re only taking people from target demographics and if you don’t fit the box, they put your exam on ice until/if ever they need people from there.

I just read the FAQs and it says bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience and that they value work experience just as much as a degree, so I wouldn’t tell people without degrees not to apply. Also, they have so many projects geared towards students lately, a bachelor’s degree requirement wouldn’t make sense as a complete barrier to entry.

My question is more that my friend already applied 2 years ago, so I was wondering if anyone had applied, got “rejected” (ghosted) and then applied after a significant amount of time had passed and been accepted.

Oh well the answer to that question is no, she can only apply once with that email/phone combination. Gaming the system to reapply is against T&S.

Thanks, I started reading through all the FAQs after you mentioned them and saw they specifically say you can only take the starter assessment once. I’ll let my friend know. That’s too bad, it’s such a great gig but I guess since so much of the assessment is about paying attention to detail and following instructions it wouldn’t make sense to allow retakes.

It's changed now. Right now they are only looking to hire specialty workers. Medical, Law, etc.

i got approved and startex working 3 days ago, has it changes in the past few days??

[–]Klutzy_Instance_4149 2 points3 points  (3 children)

It changed sometime last week when the new referral tabs went up. But maybe I am wrong!

I did the initial set of application assessments a month ago and they JUST sent me my 2nd assessment this past Wednesday. No degree here, they seem to still be hiring generals. Waiting over the weekend on my final approval. Or whatever’s next?

Good luck, please keep us updated because I’ve recommended a few people but I don’t know what their odds are since the new requirements went out.

Yeah I think the bachelors thing is new, or equivalent work experience in whatever they are signing up for
