I like that you have a picture in your profile; it helps personalize you which is important because everyone wants to deal with a person.

Looking at your test scores I see than none of them are very high.  Apart from the oDesk Readiness test you rank in the bottom two-thirds for every test you have taken.   That isn't going to impress a buyer, even given your relatively low rate.

For the moment I would recommend you hide all the scores except the oDesk Readiness Test and retake all the tests as soon as you can so that you can get higher scores.  In the meantime, focus on developing a portfolio.  You need something positive in your profile so that it will stand out and get you noticed in a good way.

I hope this helps.

PS:  Welcome to oDesk.

scores

profile feedback

Hello Abbey!

I see you got your profile started - it often helpful to ask the community feedback about your profile.

Some notes:

  • overview/objective: quite long, but it's still okay! If you can reword it to the gist of the matter that would be great!
  • title: quite enough, but if you are to see your name over hundreds of data entry professionals, then you might run into the problem of not getting noticed outright.
  • resume: thumbs up!
  • tests: nice suggestion given by daverobinson up there! more tests shown and passed should help you get more job quota in your account
  • portfolio: I really like what I have recently read about using case studies. You got some experience already, so I really believe that you can get something similar in your profile (and make the edge over others).

 Good luck kababayan!

You shouldn't wear that sun glasses.

You shouldn't wear that sun glasses. It could be fine for casual networking sites, but for oDesk if you are uploading your picture, then it should be the formal one.

glasses
