Sorry to hear about your experience with Mindlink! There are many factors that go into scheduling projects. We are working on building our customer base which will help a lot. We also give our linguists an opportunity to create a complete profile which helps to market your skills to other clients. Once you're qualified, you should get project invites from linguistlink.net the more you know and use this system, the more likely you will be to get contacted! We try to make our invoicing process as clear as possible and most people who follow it get paid in a timely manner. I admit, things can slip through the cracks, but a quick call, email or chat gets things cleared up. Are we perfect? No. But, we will keep trying!
