I received an email today about this job post. I find this doable since all you need to do is to meet their requirements, spend extra time online and accomplish some writing tasks. Want to take a look on the requirements for Internet assessors. Check the details below.
Requirements:
The skill set for this job is not high-tech, candidates need to be familiar with browsing the internet, be able to read and write fluent English, and have high-speed access to internet. Specifically:

I was about to update my resume and send it when I decided to check some more information online. Here's an interesting detail about a persons 'experience' as an Internet Assessor.
------------------
From Free Press Release United States of America (
Press Release) November 30, 2007 -- I used to work for Lionbridge (www.lionbridge.com) as an internet assessor. I worked for them since the launch of the program early 2006 so really I'm like a pioneer! They told me to take the job then and told me there would be many advancements for hard workers later, and so on.
I used to be an Arabic Rater (Egypt) until recently actually when I received an email out of no where telling me I'd been removed from the rating program due to "unacceptable quality issues" which is really more than strange. This is an email that has been sent to many other raters without any further explanation or change of wording. I find this totally unprofessional from Lionbridge and I wonder if the upper Lionbridge management team are fully aware of what's going on (the way raters are removed from the program).
I'm really upset. Raters are removed without proper justification and they're NOT treated with respect, professionalism and appreciation. I was TOTALLY ignored for one month before being removed.
I feel humiliated. Instead of getting a "Thank you" note for working for them for almost two years and for my hard work (given the fact that we were evaluated all the time and I always did so well. They've been discahrging people with the same standard email without prior notice, so please be ware. This is not a company to be trusted.
Lionbridge team is unprofessional and absurd. Please be ware. Don't work for them!

Now I still keep my resume ready but I am still thinking if this job post is worth my time and effort.
What's your take on this job post? Till next post.
