I have been using Mturk for little over a week now and am wondering about the Qualifications. I never seem to be able to get anything. Want to try sme of the word Qualification on there but cant. Any ideas or info on this? Thanks
I think they make you work for a while before they even give you a chance to get qualified at anything. You sort of have to prove yourself on the way up. That is what I've picked up, reading info here and there.
Prove myself by doing what exactly? By doing any Hits from them that I do qualify for? Keep requesting for a qualification? Send a message to them?
It would be hard at the beginning which will change as you gain more experience on mturk. Most of the hits require the worker to have a specific number of hits approved which is in most cases 1000. Increase your approved hit count fast at the beginning. You may get only the low paying hits at the beginning but you have to do them to catch the big ones later. BOL
There is small hits I was doing with ProductRnR. Did over 20 with 2 rejected and then I stopped because I dont want my percentage to go down. Should I do them anyways even with a few rejected? Update: Looks like ProductRnR doesnt have those same hits anymore.
I wouldn't do them as theirs quite a few posts saying they have issues and randomly reject. What's true or not I can't tell as they take forever to approve or deny. I am hoping just in case they take as long as possible for me so if they randomly reject it won't hurt my % because I will have enough good ones built up.
Don't go for them... they are not good requesters... they will reject some and will make your approval rate down.. for that case and seeing the reviews from TurkOpticon I blocked their HITs see this link --> http://turkopticon.differenceengines.com/A2BAP2QO7MMQI9
