Dewan, kudos to you. This piece on working for Pearson is spot-on. (I was an occasional scorer for Data Recording Corporation, which has much the same set up at Pearson.) I want to thank you for giving me the best laugh I’ve had in a long time. Ann

Lee, last year I decided to hang curtains over the half moon window in my home office to block some sunlight and help me focus better on scoring. I fell and ended up with headaches, hematomas and a broken toe. That was the end of my scoring season. I just started this season today and am already considering putting up curtains…

I can’t speak for anyone else but it’s mind numbing and quite frankly just dumb. The scoring is subjective BUT they want you to score how the previous person scored. If you score the same way then you’ve done well if you don’t then clearly, YOU are the problem. The amount of work for such low pay is insane. The blog author was paid $12.10 and w/a M.Ed they offered me $15 that’s only a $2.90 increase in 7 yrs. We’re ending our second full week and so far no one has completely dropped out. I might be the first. Good luck!

First time reading you, and you made me chuckle. I have just applied for the position online, crossing fingers!

Hey. This was fun to read, just wondering, can you do the online gigs if you are outside USA? How do they verify you are actually in USA?

Oh yeah, you got one of the prized online jobs:) They were in high demand and short supply when I looked. As for the bonus: Careful! Work too fast and your project ends!

Wow, your experience was quite different than mine, in that mine was all from home. (I wrote about it here: http://leave.today/make-money-mobily-online-test-grader/ if you are interested). My main complaint about them this past year was their super nebulous bonus system for us onliners. Sounds like it wasn’t nearly as hard to understand for y’all.
