Has any one used oDesk?

I have been working on oDesk for almost a year and I love it. Once I got a couple of jobs, it was fairly easy after that. It can be a bit tricky to get the first job, though. Make sure you take as many of the tests as you can, and make sure you have writing samples to submit when you apply for a job. Don't use a standard cover letter, write a new one for each job. Providers seem to hate the copy and paste cover letters. Also, make sure you are applying for as many as possible up to your limit. I have a blog where I have a couple of posts about oDesk, particularly tips and tricks for getting hired. The link is in my profile, you may have to look in the archives, I can't remember when I wrote the oDesk stuff for sure. Feel free to PM me if I can help you in any way.

Hello I signed up at Odesk last month. So far, I've applied to three article-writing job applications and received an email for a job interview. I didn't get the job for the 3 job applications. 2 were cancelled and 1 was already filled up. Unfortunately, I had to decline the job interview. I didn't want to disappoint the buyer by falling short in his expectations. He needed writers for the "How to" articles. And so far, my experience in article writings were mostly health-related. I'm still on the hunt for article writer job openings. But now, I'm also applying for data entry jobs.

I wish I could give you more info- But, I just signed up myself this week. And am still finding my way around and taking tests. I really hope this pays out. seems like a great place for some extra cash.

My hubby did and never got work. Good luck. Sorry for the generic comment but I'm WAAAAAY behind on my friends posts but want everyone to get their pennies, so here I am. Hi and Happy Holidays if we don't cross each others paths before then.

Im a member of Odesk but yet to receive any jobs or tasks. =)
