While taking tests that show your skills will give buyers an idea of what you can do, beefing up your profile with your portfolio, coming up with a good business objective and title, and composing a really good cover letter would also increase your chances of landing on that first assignment.

It's just being competitive amongst others, especially if you are a newbie.<br />But once, you've earned your good ratings (as many five stars ratings), thus proving your worth, it would follow that you could quote as high as reasonably as you can. :) <br />Good luck to us all!!!<br />Go Pinays Go!!!<br />:)Eleanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854907705429390034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886535708297324957.post-73772760216529823642009-04-22T17:34:00.000+08:002009-04-22T17:34:00.000+08:00I landed here from the oDesk newsletter in my mail...I landed here from the oDesk newsletter in my mail box.

While it may be a challenge to wait for that first gig, it is also an opportunity for you to spruce up your profile by taking tests related to your skills and building up your portfolio. Don't give up! Allot time in applying for jobs related to your skills. Also, take time to come up with a "buyer-friendly" cover letter, as that is the first step in establishing relationship with the buyer. I hope you get that first assignment soon!

I just finished oDesk readiness test the other day and still have to take some more test to prove my skills. I believe oDesk is the way to go specially if you want to earn extra money, and just doing it at home. I am looking forward to earning a regular income in oDesk, that's why I am reviewing and honing all my skills from all previously learned softwares and applications. I may take me sometime to get my first job, but I think it will be worth it. After I got my first job, I'll post again. Thanks for the inspiration. - Orlando O.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886535708297324957.post-32241893220616625242009-04-12T16:27:00.000+08:002009-04-12T16:27:00.000+08:00Nice tips.
