• Proven experience in data entry, content moderation, data annotation, or linguistics.
• Excellent command of the English language, including understanding slang, idioms, and cultural context.
• Ability to follow complex, detailed guidelines and flowcharts without deviation.
• Strong research skills to quickly verify facts and information during the annotation process.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment, managing time across multiple projects.

Compensation and Benefits:

• Rate: Earn up to $18 USD/hr (Rates vary based on project complexity and expertise).
