Hey, i've been an odesk member for some months now, and i did had some good projects worked there. Well, the only way that you can boosts possible employers and had an interview with them is by having your profile updated. You need to fill up a comprehensive CV on your odesk profile, place all the necessary educational and skills information and lastly, take part on the odesk readiness quiz and the skills quizzes/exams posted on their system. In that way, you can attract many employers seeking for an independent contractor like you. Although, competition at Odesk is quite hard since there are more professionals who take part in the online freelancing site, It's best to give out a good message to your possible employers tell them your edge from the other bidders. If you are having problems about the site, you may want to read the Odesk FAQ page or some tutorials over youtube on how to use the site. Hope this helps. ;D

I have been working on oDesk for several years. There are ways to increase your chances of getting an interview, just like with a regular job. You need to take as many of the competency tests as you can. When you write you cover letter that is submitted with your application for a job, be sure to explain to the employer why he should hire you even though you are new. Look for small, simple jobs at first so you can build you reputation. I have a blog (in my profile) that gives detailed instructions and hints for getting hired on oDesk. Good luck!
