Academic Minds Recenzje 10

I applied for a tutoring role, but there are no tutoring jobs on the site. The majority of requests are for essays, dissertations, and theses that paying students will submit as their own work. Not a good organisation to be associated with. No academic integrity.

I see positive in every circumstance, no matter how bad. Take it from someone who has lost almost everything in life - a parent, job, investment etc. However, with respect of Academic Minds, there is NOTHING positive that can come out from that organisation. I say this because I wrote one of their tests in my subject field but was given a very tardy feedback.

The sad part was that I did little digging before I decided to apply for their freelancing position. Had I done otherwise, I would have seen several comments of academics and brilliant minds screaming on the top of their voices that Academic Minds is fraudulent.

I would have checked Companies House profile of the company, and would have noticed that the persons involved have also floated similar organisations like before (oxbridge essays etc.). I would also have noticed that the accounts of the company looks suspicious and does not reflect what they advertised. Summa summarum, a search would have reviewed that their product is terrible and they are literally 'bad people'.

Please never apply to them or even use their services.

They are just using your work so they do not have to pay you. They ask you to write a good piece of work which they claim to be paid after being successful in test stage. I am an experienced academic writer with years of experience and they just rejected by saying “ Does not meet requirements “ without any formal feedback. After reading all the reviews, I came to the conclusion that they just waste your time and efforts and nothing else. It is highly recommended to read the reviews first and then apply. Otherwise you will waste your time and efforts for nothing.

I do not think that the company is suitable for professional academics. They reject applications from non-native speakers (non-EU) no matter what qualifications they hold. They indicate in their post "red brick university/Russell Group or globally recognised", however, they reject people who graduated from non-EU or non-UK universities despite being "globally-recognised". My PhD, for instance, is from a globally recognised university, which has been in the top universities rank by the decision of Times Higher Education (UK). However, the biggest irony is that despite not having been graduated from a red brick university, I have been working as lecturer in academic writing in a Russell Group university and accredited as academic writing expert by Cambridge University. I also am a published author of several academic journals, articles and books some of which have been included in MA degree courses reading and reference lists. For these reasons, I am so glad that I do not work for this company, and I will let my colleagues know about and share this experience with as many academics as they can.

Definitely weird vibes. They asked me to write an essay and submit some sample work (the latter being a previously graded university essay written by myself given a first by a Russel Group university). I was emailed very shortly after the submission and I was told I did not meet their criteria, which was never specified in the first place, other than some general essay writing guidelines. I also got no feedback on why I had been rejected, which is not fair in my opinion since it takes a few days to prepare the work they as for. I don't know for sure, but reading other reviews from similar experiences by people who seem to be confident writers like myself, I don't think it's too far fetched to say they're keeping the work for free and ditching people after they've submitted it.

Do not apply to this company!
The hiring manager, Harry Corper, consistently ignored emails, lied about what we had agreed, failed to show up to interviews and then asked me to provide personal information after pretending we had spoken! Doesn't help that the people on the phone used a different company name to the website...
A complete waste of my time and should be avoided.

Shady: I was asked to submit an essay, which I did not write....
Yet I still received an email stating that the academic piece (which I never wrote) did not meet their requirements...

I had to write an essay as part of the application process. I have years of experience in academic contexts, and the truth is, I am confident with my academic writing skills. Yet, their response was negative as my essay "did not meet their requirements".

I requested feedback because it was only fair for me to know what went wrong with the essay. They replied a few hours later with some vague comments about my English skills and how the content did not grapple enough with the question. For the record, the essay was about a "what is" question. Their criticism was that I sacrificed a lot of space on providing definitions.

In any case, the application process was quite disappointing. Despite the final results, an essay score based on specified parameters would be fairer for the applicants. These essays take time and effort to write, and it is unacceptable to receive unclear or too general feedback on your work. Of course, this is only when you request feedback because, otherwise, you just get a note that your application was unsuccessful. Not sure if this is the company's tactics, but, overall, this application was a waste of working time. Feel free to apply if you want to, but my advice would be to raise no expectations.

There is a clear ambiguity in their approach and something dubious. I am an academic writer, an author of an IET book chapter and several IEEE papers. They gave me an assignment that took hours from me to prepare.

They decided unilaterally it was unacceptable. Ok, they are free to define their measures but it is also the right of those who take time to write, to be given feedback. At least for them to know what they missed. It is also their right to know what the company's measures are before they waste their time in writing. And there is a suspicion that the articles' they receive in this way are either used as is or used as a nucleus for writing articles to earn free money by fooling writers to write.

As employers, I advise you they are definitely not decent in the strategy; if at all these suspicions were unfounded, for that I cannot tell without evidence.

they said I did not meet their criteria but no presise explanation. I don't even know if is failed the test or the essay!!!
