I found a job I felt strongly I could do. I also tried to make to a strong cover letter. I used any viable experience. For me I have written a lot of papers for college. I used this as proof of my writing skills. Also I stated the goals I wanted for the project. My thing is expanding my skill base. Suprisingly I found a buyer wiling to give me a chance and I logged in my first 11 hours. After that more regular has started coming in. I found my first odesk hourly job doing simple things.

I am a member of oDesk for the past 3 months with 0hrs, would request oDesk help team to come up with more tips from time to time. I wish I could have those emails once again from the oDeskt which I got from them in my first 15 days of membership. A lot of hints and clues in those emails but lost them all.

But one thing makes frustrating probably not only me but other providers that in some cases the buyers used to take too long time to recruit and to deploy into the assignments.

Thanks. However, I'm with Bhautik. I get the odd query, but as a new buyer, I feel I will never start off. It's similar on other sites too. This is despite having above average scores on various tests. These are some great, doable, tips. Thanks.
