<h1>Yukon Project at Appen: What It Is, Guidelines, Exam, Pay & More</h1>

<h2>What is the Yukon Project?</h2>
<p><strong>Project Yukon</strong> is a <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/online-jobs/search-evaluation">search engine evaluator job</a> at <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/appen/">Appen</a> for its client Google. The core of this online job is to rate the quality of web pages and the relevance of search results. Google uses raters' feedback to evaluate whether tweaks in the algorithm would produce a beneficial outcome (i.e. search results that are, on average, more relevant and of good quality).</p>
<p>Besides the basic quality and relevance evaluation, participants of Project Yukon may also be requested to perform dozens of other tasks that are related to how the search engine performs. For example:</p>
<ul>
 <li>Rate how much an automated voice sounds natural</li>
 <li>Determine what topics are central or secondary to explain what a given web page is about</li>
 <li>Classify local or online businesses according to a list of predefined categories</li>
 <li>Classify the user intent for a given search query</li>
 <li>Etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Yukon project at Appen is one of the <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/wfh-jobs-beginners/">best entry-level opportunities in the work-from-home industry</a> as it requires no prior experience or specific technical skills.</p>

<h2>How to Apply</h2>
<p>To apply for the Yukon Project at <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/company/appen">Appen</a>, first, you need to complete the registration form that is available after selecting your country of residence on <a href="https://connect.appen.com/qrp/public/jobs/list" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this page</a>. This is the application page for the <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/internet-analyst-appen/">Internet Analyst position</a>, which is the name by which Appen refers to their home-based, independent agents.</p>
<p>Once you are admitted as an Internet Analyst, you need to check if the Project Yukon is available in their projects dashboard. Yukon is one of the many <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/online-jobs/entry-level">entry-level online jobs</a> that can be available for Appen raters. To increase your chances of being successful, make sure to read our post with tips on <a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/appen-work-from-home/">working from home with Appen</a>.</p>

<h2>Yukon Guidelines</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://www.searchevaluator.com/pages/general-guidelines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">General Guidelines</a> used in the Yukon Project are made publicly available by Google. You can download it <a href="http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/guidelines.raterhub.com/en//searchqualityevaluatorguidelines.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
<p>The guidelines are usually updated once or twice a year. The latest version of that document dates from December 2022 and has 176 pages, which are organized into three main sections.</p>
<p><strong>Part 1</strong> is the Page Quality Rating Guideline, where Google provides details on the quality attributes that should be observed by raters. Special attention is given to the E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness) of pages, particularly YMYL pages -- which stands for "Your Money or Your Life", meaning topics or pages that could potentially impact a person’s future happiness, health, financial stability, or safety.</p>
<p><strong>Part 2</strong> is about Understanding Mobile User Needs, which is a fundamental step to the process of defining a relevance rating for the search result.</p>
<p><strong>Part 3</strong> is the Needs Met Rating Guideline, where Google provides details and several examples of factors that affect the relevance of a search result. The rating levels are named after the extent by which the results meet the needs of the users, hence the term <em>Needs Met</em>.</p>

<h2><a id="yukon-exam"></a>Yukon Project Exam</h2>
<p>Project Yukon's qualification exam is divided into three parts:</p>
<ol>
 <li>A multiple-choice exam directly based on the theoretical content of the guidelines</li>
 <li>A hands-on Quality rating exam</li>
 <li>A hands-on Needs Met rating exam</li>
</ol>
<p>Candidates must pass each exam in order to progress to the next one. For example, to take the Needs Met rating test, the candidate must have already passed the two previous exams.</p>
<p>The multiple-choice test is considered the easiest of the three, as candidates can refer to the guidelines for the correct answers. The hands-on tests are more difficult because candidates must rate pages and results that are not exactly the same ones used as examples in the general guidelines.</p>
<p>Most candidates that fail in any of the three tests are given a second chance -- unless they fail badly. This second chance is not guaranteed though, so <a href="https://www.searchevaluator.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">preparation is the key</a> for anyone serious about passing the tests.</p>

<h3>What are the exam answers?</h3>
<p>Part 1 is the only test of the Yukon qualification exam that is always the same, so if you are looking for the exam answers, you are probably referring to those multiple-choice questions. It makes no sense to look for the answers in parts 2 and 3 since the tasks used on these exams change from time to time.</p>
<p>Disclosing Yukon exam answers is not part of our proposal. First, because doing so would be unethical. Secondly, it wouldn’t be beneficial for you, since you would probably fail the next two parts without mastering the concepts provided in the general guidelines.</p>
<p>Most importantly, cheating on the exam would likely result in you leaving the project within a few weeks or months of receiving an offer, as the performance of newly hired evaluators is closely monitored by their quality team.</p>
<p>If you are looking to boost your preparation for the exam, we suggest you enroll in the courses available at the <a href="https://www.searchevaluator.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Search Evaluator Academy</a>.</p>

<h2>Yukon Project Pay</h2>
<p>The current pay rate for newcomers can range from $3/hour (i.e. rate in India) to $14/hour (i.e. rate in some European countries).&nbsp;The pay rate varies depending on the rater's country. For the US, the rate also varies by state.</p>
<p>In general, the pay rate for Appen home-based agents does not vary too much from project to project. Therefore, you can get an idea about the hourly rate that Yukon pays in your country once you are admitted to some project through <a href="https://wahojobs.com/article/appen-connect/">Appen Connect</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.wahojobs.com/article/search-engine-evaluator">Search engine evaluators</a> earn by the hour and are paid on a monthly basis, no matter their locale or position type.</p>

<h3>Payment Method</h3>

<p>Appen uses <a href="https://discover.payoneer.com/partner/wahojobs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Payoneer</a>, a widely-used international payment platform, as their primary means of disbursing earnings. Through Payoneer, workers at Appen can access their payments and have several withdrawal options. This system is a part of Appen's approach to facilitate consistent and straightforward payment procedures for its global workforce.</p>

<p>When you <a href="https://discover.payoneer.com/partner/wahojobs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">sign up for a Payoneer account</a> with our link, you receive 50 USD cashback immediately when your account reaches a minimum accumulated amount of 1,000 USD.</p>

<h2>How to prepare for the Yukon Exam?</h2>
<p>You can prepare for the <b>Yukon exam</b> by reading the <a href="https://www.searchevaluator.com/pages/general-guidelines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">general guidelines</a> in advance and enrolling in our courses at the <a href="https://www.searchevaluator.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Search Evaluator Academy</a>.</p>

<h3>Courses</h3>

<p>The <a href="https://seacademy.wahojobs.com/courses/search-quality-rater-guidelines-training" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guidelines Training course</a> slightly targets Part 1, and moderately targets Parts 2 and 3 of the Yukon Project exam.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://seacademy.wahojobs.com/courses/sea-model" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SEA Model course</a> isn't helpful for Part 1, but it moderately targets Part 2 and highly targets Part 3.</p>

<p>Legend:</p>
<p><em>Slightly Targets = Some parts of the course are somewhat helpful for that part of the exam</em></p>
<p><em>Moderately Targets = Some parts of the course are helpful for that part of the exam</em></p>
<p><em>Highly Targets = Some parts of the course are very helpful for that part of the exam</em></p>
<br><p>If you are on a budget, a plausible preparation strategy would be to enroll in the <strong>SEA Model course</strong> only if and after you've failed your first attempt at the exam -- considering that many applicants who fail are given a second chance.</p>

Appen's Project Yukon: What It Is, Exam, Pay & More

<h1>Web Content Assessor at Lionbridge: Work Online for Bing</h1>
<p>Search engine companies rely on an army of human evaluators to check whether their algorithms are performing as expected. The ratings assigned by these evaluators <a href="https://www.seroundtable.com/bing-quality-raters-dont-directly-impact-rankings-27253.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">do not directly impact how search results are ranked</a>, but they function as invaluable feedback for improving search engines' over time.</p>
<p>The Web Content Assessor role at <a href="https://wahojobs.com/article/lionbridge/">Lionbridge</a> is one of these <a href="https://wahojobs.com/article/search-evaluator-jobs-appen-telus-ai">search engine evaluation jobs</a> that you can do from home.</p>

<h2>Job Description</h2>
<p>A <strong>Web Content Assessor</strong> assigns ratings to search results, indicating for each result how well it satisfies the population of possible users who may have issued the query. This role at Lionbridge is related to the web search evaluation program of <strong>Microsoft Bing</strong>.</p>
<p>Simply put, it is Bing's equivalent to the <a href="https://wahojobs.com/article/search-engine-evaluator">search engine evaluator</a> role at Google that is known by the name of <a href="https://wahojobs.com/article/internet-assessor-telus-ai">personalized internet assessor</a> at Lionbridge, among others.</p>
<p>To perform the web content assessment, raters are expected to follow a five-step process:</p>
<ol>
<li>Understand the LP and Rating Quality and Credibility (QC)</li>
<li>Understand the User Intents for the Search</li>
<li>Evaluate User Expectations</li>
<li>LP Satisfaction Rating and Explanation</li>
<li>Final Rating Process and Annotation</li>
</ol>
<p>In the guidelines used to train evaluators on how to do the job, Bing refers to the rating tasks as <strong>HIT</strong>, which stands for <em>Human Inference Task</em>. The platform where the tasks are executed is known as <strong>HITapp</strong>, which is part of a rating system called UHRS (Universal Human Relevance System).</p>
<p>Web Content Assessors help Bing on its goal to deliver search results that lead users to the most relevant and authoritative content in response to their search queries.</p>

<h2>Web Content Assessor Salary</h2>
<p>The salary of a web content assessor at Lionbridge ranges from $7 / hour to $20 / hour, depending on the country where the rater is located. In the US, the pay rate may also vary by state.</p>
<p>Web Content Assessors earn by the hour and are paid monthly, regardless of their location.</p>

<h2>Job Requirements</h2>
<p>To work as a web content assessor, you must:</p>
<ul>
<li>Be comfortable using the Internet and working from home without much supervision</li>
<li>Have good analytical and communication skills</li>
<li>Know how to interpret and follow established guidelines</li>
<li>Be fluent in English and your local language, if you’re applying from a non-English speaking country</li>
<li>Be living in the country for which you are applying for the last 5 consecutive years. This is because it is crucial that raters have familiarity with historical, news, and cultural affairs of their locale</li>
<li>Have a PC running Windows 10 with a high-speed internet connection</li>
<li>Degree level qualification is desired</li>
</ul>

<h2>Application Process</h2>
<p>To apply for the web content assessor role at Lionbridge, head to its <a href="https://careers.lionbridge.com/jobs/search" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Job Search page</a> to check if this position is available in your country. Simply type in "web content assessor" in the search field, or <a href="https://careers.lionbridge.com/jobs/search?page=1&amp;query=%22web%20content%20assessor%22" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">click here</a> for a shortcut.</p>
<p>Select the listing that refers to the country where you've been living for the last 5 consecutive years. If you cannot see a Web Content Assessor listing for your country, it means that there are currently no vacancies available. In this case, you should wait a couple of days and try again.</p>
<p>After clicking the item corresponding to your country of residence, you will be taken to a page with a brief explanation about the position. Read the job description and then click the button <em>Apply Now!</em> at the bottom of the page. In doing so, you will be prompted to create a new Lionbridge account if you still don't have one. Make sure to fill out the required information on the subsequent pages.</p>
<p>Before submitting the application, you will be asked to complete a pre-screening questionnaire. In general, it is recommended not to mention that you work on a similar opportunity with Lionbridge or another company. The reason is that there might be some <a href="https://wahojobs.com/article/appen-and-telus-ai-simultaneously">conflict of interest</a> that they don’t make clear to applicants, which could potentially cost you your job.</p>

<h2>Web Content Assessor Guidelines</h2>
<p>Unlike Google, Bing does not publicly disclose its search evaluation guidelines. To be sent that document, you must be invited for the qualification exam after successfully passing the resume screening phase.</p>
<p>The web content assessor guidelines are officially known as <strong>UHRS One-DCG Pilot Judging Guidelines</strong> and are about 70 pages long. This is far less than Google's search evaluator guidelines, which is over 150 pages long.</p>
<p>You can get an idea of what those guidelines look like by registering for the OneDCG Intro webinar, which is publicly available and can be accessed <a href="https://register.gotowebinar.com/recording/4470600390421395457" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">through this link</a>. You can use any email address to register to watch this.</p>

<h2><a id="web-content-assessor-exam"></a>Web Content Assessor Exam</h2>
<p>Once your application is reviewed by Lionbridge's exam support team, you will receive an email welcoming you to the OneDCG Qualification Process. Through the link provided in this email, you will be granted access to the Guidelines, Practice Data and Learning Modules.</p>
<p>Lionbridge requires candidates to complete a minimum of 50 tasks in the Practice data before they can move them to the exam. In total, the practice training batch has over 250 example exercises to help you get a good understanding of the tasks.</p>
<p>Applicants are given one week to complete both the Practice data and the Exam. The notification of the exam is sent only after you complete the Practice data.</p>
<p>The exam consists of 30 tasks. For each task, you will be asked to assign ratings for Intent, Quality Credibility (QC), Location, Freshness, Aboutness, and Landing Page Satisfaction (LP-Sat). These ratings are assigned based on a given query that is provided in the task.</p>
<p>You may be sent an additional 15 tasks to complete if your performance on the exam is not up to par.</p>
<p>On its OneDCG Tips and Tricks email, Lionbridge says that successful candidates spend approximately 2.5-3.5 hours in the exam. The company advises doing a few ratings and then take a break as regular breaks generally enhance your overall performance.</p>

### Importance in Various Industries

Testing is not confined to a single sector; it plays a vital role in manufacturing, entertainment, technology, and more. The unifying goal across these industries is to ensure that the end product meets specific quality benchmarks and provides a satisfactory experience to the end-users.


## I. Product Tester

### Definition and Overview

Product testing is a specialized field where individuals evaluate the functionality, usability, and quality of various consumer products. The role of a product tester involves meticulously examining items such as electronics, cosmetics, appliances, and even food products to ensure they meet specific standards and expectations. 

Feedback from product testers is invaluable in identifying potential flaws, improving the product's overall design, and enhancing the consumer experience.


### Required Skills and Qualifications

Being a product tester doesn't necessarily demand an extensive technical background, but there are certain skills and qualifications that can make you stand out in this role:

1. **Attention to Detail:** Product testers must observe and analyze products carefully, identifying even the smallest inconsistencies or defects that may affect the user experience.
2. **Communication Skills:** Your observations and feedback need to be communicated effectively to the manufacturers or developers. Clear, concise, and constructive reporting is key to ensuring that your insights lead to tangible improvements.
3. **Basic Technical Knowledge:** While not always required, understanding the basic functionality and components of products, especially in electronics or appliances, can be beneficial in evaluating their performance.


### Daily Responsibilities

The daily responsibilities of a product tester may vary depending on the type and range of products being tested. Typical duties include:

- **Examining Products:** Analyzing the physical appearance, quality, and functionality of products.

- **Providing Feedback:** Writing detailed reports or reviews, outlining observations, and suggesting potential improvements.
- **Collaborating with Teams:** Working closely with developers, manufacturers, or quality assurance teams to ensure that the product aligns with the desired standards.

<br>Product testing offers a unique opportunity to have a hands-on experience with various consumer goods, directly influencing their quality and market success. Whether working remotely or in a designated testing facility, product testers play a pivotal role in shaping the products we use every day.


## II. Game Tester

### Definition and Overview

A game tester plays a vital role in the development of video games. Their main responsibility is to identify bugs, glitches, or other issues that could affect gameplay. They work closely with game developers to ensure that the final product delivers a seamless and enjoyable gaming experience. 

Game testing is often seen as a stepping stone into the broader gaming industry and can be an exciting opportunity for those passionate about video games.


### Required Skills and Qualifications

While being a gamer is undoubtedly an advantage in this role, there are several essential skills and qualifications that can make you an effective game tester:

1. **Gaming Experience:** Familiarity with different game genres, platforms, and gameplay mechanics is essential for understanding the expectations and standards of the gaming community.
2. **Analytical Skills:** Game testers must be able to systematically analyze various game elements, identify inconsistencies or errors, and provide actionable feedback to the development team.
3. **Teamwork:** Collaborating with developers, designers, and other testers requires strong communication and teamwork skills. Your insights will contribute to refining the game, so being able to articulate your findings clearly is crucial.


### Daily Responsibilities

As a game tester, your daily responsibilities are centered around exploring and evaluating different aspects of a game. These duties may include:

- **Playing and Analyzing Games:** Extensively playing through different stages, scenarios, or levels of a game to evaluate its functionality, balance, and entertainment value.
- **Identifying Bugs and Issues:** Documenting any glitches, crashes, or problems that arise during gameplay, providing detailed information to help developers fix these issues.
- **Providing Feedback:** Offering insights on the overall feel of the game, user experience, difficulty levels, and other subjective aspects that may influence the final product.
- **Collaborating with Development Team:** Regularly communicating with the development team to understand the intended gameplay and ensure that the game aligns with the design vision.

<br>While the idea of being paid to play games may sound enticing, game testing is a serious profession that requires a dedication to detail. The feedback from game testers plays a vital role in shaping successful and engaging video games enjoyed by players across the globe.


## III. Software Tester

### Definition and Overview

Software testing is a critical phase in the development of any software application. The role of a software tester involves systematically evaluating software to ensure that it functions correctly, meets user requirements, and is free from defects. 

Software testers work closely with developers to identify issues early in the development process, reducing the cost and time needed for corrections and contributing to a superior final product.


### Required Skills and Qualifications

Software testing is a highly technical field, and specific skills and qualifications are needed to excel in this role:

1. **Programming Knowledge:** While not always mandatory, understanding programming languages and coding principles can provide valuable insights into how software operates and where potential issues may arise.
2. **Analytical Thinking:** Software testers must think critically to design test cases, identify potential failure points, and accurately assess how software performs under various conditions.
3. **Understanding of Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC):** Knowledge of the different stages of software development, including requirements gathering, design, coding, and deployment, is vital in aligning testing efforts with the overall development process.


### Daily Responsibilities

The daily tasks of a software tester are diverse and require both technical expertise and attention to detail:

- **Creating Test Plans:** Designing detailed testing strategies to ensure comprehensive evaluation of software's functionality, performance, and security.
- **Executing Tests:** Running manual or automated tests to assess how the software behaves under different scenarios, including stress tests, usability tests, and regression tests.
- **Documenting Findings:** Recording the results of tests, including any defects or inconsistencies, and communicating them to the development team.
