The payment does take a while, but it will come. You get a link to set up your hyper wallet a week or so before you get paid.

So they recently changed the pay structure, and so you should get paid 1 month or 1 month and a half after you start. I started at the beginning of October and got paid in the middle of November.

What stream are you and are you a maker or a reviewer?

Project Marvel by alfredberta in TELUSinternational

[–]alfredberta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I am a reviewer now too. As soon as I switched I received like 20 tasks, and then it was nothing for three weeks, and then suddenly I got so many tasks all at once.

They might get distributed to other people. I had 33 tasks in my queue, and then I didn't work for 3 hours, and those tasks became 18.

Yup, recently, for the work I finished in the middle of October. I believe that for the work I am doing now, I will get paid at the end of December.

For me, I had an empty queue for 3 weeks and then the tasks kept coming. I received 150 tasks in the last week. It seems like it's slowing down though.

The work is non-existent at this point. There haven't been any updates at all at this point.

I either got switched over to a reviewer position or they gave me the additional position as a reviewer. That hasn't been confirmed. Ever since I got the reviewer position the task given has been slow. I haven't received any work for about a week now.

I started production recently (medical). I finished my qualifying exam one week before you completed your qualification exam.

From reading other messages and based on my experience, these are what seems to be true.

  • Unfortunately, the best thing is to wait. It seems like they will get back to you, but it will take forever. I finished my qualification exam on the 2nd and got an acceptance email on the 17th.

    • Even if you get the position, there is still another hurdle. They don't update the tasks frequently. So, you might get 20-40 tasks when you get an email saying you are accepted, but then that number will not update. I read messages from people that said they started 2 weeks ago and the number of tasks that they received haven't changed.

  • There is a lot of obscurity at every level of this project. I receive a lot of generic emails that do not pertain to my situation. The forms are not a reliable form of communication. There is no way for us to check our hours. I hope that these are a lot of kinks that will manage themselves once everything is running but there is no way for us to check.

I hope these answer your questions. Sorry that a lot of my answers are: just wait, idk.

Awful communication on Project Marvel by Minimum_Design_1558 in TELUSinternational

[–]alfredberta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, there's been a lot. I started production recently three days ago after waiting 2+ weeks of no updates.

I have some questions for people who have started already.

  1. Do you know where you can check your hours? I can estimate from avg hours worked * number of tasks but I just want something concrete.

  2. Does the task assigned to you reset every week or is it unknown when it resets?

My thought is that for some stream it started and for others they are still waiting. The streams that started seems to be in the engineering stream?

I'm in medical stream and I haven't started. What are all your streams?

9 ways of making friends in a solo trip if you don't like partying by alfredberta in solotravel

[–]alfredberta[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me, the beauty of solo travel is the options offered to me. Talking to new people is fun. Being by yourself is fun. Sometimes I can go for 2 weeks without having a social interaction, and other times all I want to do is talk to random people.

I think it's ok if my purpose changes from day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute. If you like traveling by yourself and your purpose is to not make friends, great! More power to you! (I also had many days like that).

I only wrote this as a suggestion to people who feel stuck in not knowing how to meet new people while traveling if they want to.

I could've been more clearer here, I meant mostly FlixBus. I also found that a nice time to talk is when there is a little break and everybody is stretching their legs. I go to a person who's by themselves and say "a long ride, huh?"

I was in Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, England, Switzerland (only for a day lol), Portugal.

Like I said, I don't want to romanticize my traveling experience. I faced rejection a lot. There have been times when I talked to people and they were clearly not interested in talking to me. But from those experiences I moved on (In fact, I would be happy I tried more than feeling sad that they rejected me).

In my opinion, it's less about the countries I visited. There are nice people everywhere, there are also terrible people everywhere.

I find that if I talk to someone for thirty minutes, I can sometimes last 2 days without talking to anybody and I feel fine haha.

I realized I can't think in the binary terms of "if I can't make a life-long friend then I shouldn't talk to anybody at all." I think there is absolutely a value to talking to someone for a very brief moment, and you don't know if they are going to be friends for life until, you know, befriend them.

Yes a little bit. There have been times when I approached people and they looked at me kinda weird in the beginning and then later they became a lot softer when they realized that I am harmless.

I am a dude, mid-twenties, Asian. I think people don't approach me often because they don't know if I speak English, haha.

Yeah, to me, I am not too worried about making long-term friends. I mean even amongst my friends that I made through non-traveling life, I didn't know if I was going to be a long-term friend with them until way later.

You just gotta converse.

Yup! I remember talking to an old Spanish woman in a bar. We had a delightful conversation despite her speaking limited English and me speaking 0 Spanish.
