Hi..i'm new in this site and have applied for the data entry job. I don't have any experience in data entry processing but i'm studied in information technology institute so i guess i do have that skill. I'm quite familiar with all computer feature. So, do you think i have a chance to get hired? Thanks before...Gbu

Well, I won't try to
Well, I won't try to convince you it will be a no brainer to get your first job. Naturally, Buyers prefer providers with experience, particularly oDesk experience. Considering how many experienced data processing providers there are in the network, it will take some effort to get noticed and hired.
I can suggest two main ways to try. a) Invest in your coverletter. This is what the Buyer sees first, so make sure it is always interesting, custom and targetted for this particular job opening. Also, it needs to clearly say why you believe you are a good fit for this job despite lack of experience (here is where your informational technology institute may come into play).
b) Is to gain experience. Be it through volunteering for an organization you like or doing some sample projects.
Goos luck!
