ChaCha followup

[beetiger]

I know that there are a bunch of you who began the sign-up process to be Guides for the ChaCha service as part of my team when I mentioned it, but haven't actually done the simulator test. I don't mind at all if you decided not to pursue it, but if you still wanted to do it, I'd recommend taking the simulator test today. They are instituting an "apprentice pay rate" for new Guides starting tomorrow, and of course, it's lower. :P.

I did the simulator and was told they didn't need me. Bummer.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

They refuse to let me re-take the test despite the crappy interface errors. Apparently they, "Have a healthy number of guides at the moment."

Bah.

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

Oh, that really stinks.

Noted, thanks.

I tried it out as a user for a while. It's neat to have, but the hit rate on searches seems to be about 50%. I'm ambivalent about whether I want to do it, but I do have a window of time this afternoon, so I might as well give myself the option.

Meaning you're getting about 50% useful answers? I'm sorry to hear that -- it should be a lot higher. This "apprentice" thing is about culling some of the newer, less meticulous Guides, I think. But you can always try again if you get a useless answer.

I hope the testing goes well for you!

I got the 'sorry we can't use you' thing, I thought I did pretty well myself

Huh. Maybe they just aren't taking more people right now.

I would really really like an invite if you have one. I've had two people say they would invite me and then fall off the earth.

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

You don't actually need an invite -- just go to this page and apply. Please put my email address vickib@gmail.com as your referring Guide on that form so I can get the bonus if they decide to take you.

Good luck!
