		<description>I have a question, when you do a test drive for a job is it best to let the providers you choose this is starting out as a test on the first assignment before we decide to move into a more permanent position</description>

		<description>I had a lousy experience with odesk.com, my bottomline reccomendation.  2 different providers were very misleading.  Big waste of time and money.  Do not ever pay someone overseas until they complete the project.  Negotiate all contracts make sure you aren&#039;t paying out money until you receive at least minimal deliverables.  Odesk.com seems like a popular site but I highly prefer the escrowed payments systems at rentacoder.com much more protection for the software buyer.</description>

		<description>This is a succinctly written; well-worded article, with helpful guidelines, that really need to be noted by existing (or potential) oDesk buyers.</description>
