I got Master's yesterday as well. I started turking Sept 26 2012 HITs Submitted 43377 — ... Approved 42252 99.9% ... Rejected 44 0.1% ... Pending 1081 —
Holy shit! Color me impressed! That many hits in such a short time....I've been turking a week longer than you and only have 8000 :/ I feel like a lazy slob now.
Oh, my goodness. I can't believe I didn't actually congratulate you! Sorry; think I saw the thread days ago and lost the tab without remembering I hadn't replied. Anyway... Hope it's awesome. You deserve this!
can I know , how to they announce MQ ? through mail? I had already requested the master qualification in the qualification list and it also says that 'you can request only once'. in the beginning of my turking. Is there a chance to get that after requesting, I would also like to see the Master qualification granted mail. THANKS
Masters is an "elite" group of workers for which Amazon gets a bigger piece of the pie and the requester generally doesn't get any better results than they did before. You can't request it or take any test. It's purely through the goodness of Amazon's heart.
I wonder how they decide who gets the masters. I've been turking since 2008 and don't have it. Although i've noticed lately that the hits requiring it pay as little or less than most others so I'm not sure what all the hype is about.
EXACTLY. Not to steal anyone who's been awarded a master status' thunder, but it's not exactly one of my goals. It seems to me that a large portion of the HITs available to master folks are for requesters who don't know about Amazon's master default scheme and aren't HITs I'd want to waste my time on, anyway. But, to each their own.
