  • Reposted the same previous job description (after making some little changes) for hiring a new contractor for list mailing project.
  • Already 50+ contractors have applied for the job application (within 30 minutes, I think the current job opening template is greatly helping in this regard because we haven’t received so many applicants before this). I have screened some of them and shortlisted 5 of them, but I am still looking for some more applicants till tomorrow.

  • Sorry for the confusion regarding the above chart, actually it represents the overall productivity of both transcriptionist. So according to the data calculations, Maria took 3.70 minutes to transcribe one minute of audio, whereas Abi took 3.32 minutes to transcribe a minute of audio. I know there is not much of a difference in their overall productivity, but I think other charts define the comparison in a better manner.
  • There is a video in the high priority folder (28-07-2013 15-32-04) that I am unable to understand due to high background music. I think its about building T3 viral list builder page, but there are some additional information in the video that I am unable to listen. (Removed)
  • Similarly there is a video in the transcription folder (28-07-2013 15-19-42) has the same problem. (Removed)
