Hi Julia,
I think more oDesk Tests and more items in your portfolio (if you have anything else to add) should do the trick.
Congratulations on landing your first assignment!

Olga

Thanks, but unfortunately the buyer hasn't been online for 5 days, so I think I wouldn't be paid
I need more jobs from good buyers!
Anything else to comment in my profile?

I just want to jump in to address the payment issue - you were working an hourly job, so as long as the buyer's payment method was verified, your payment is guaranteed.
You profile looks pretty good to me. You may want to describe your skills, and definitely try to add more to your portfolio.

Please tell me what should I do to be paid?
I haven't finished the assignment because the buyer just disappeared. He doesn't answer e-mails, Yahoo messages, etc.
But I was working on the assignment for 11 hours. I have correct Work Diary. In the My Assignments list that assignment is "in progress".
What should I do now?

If the buyer has disappeared, you ought to stop working. But payment is automatic and will occur on the usual schedule. Please note that the funds cannot be released from pending to available unless the buyer's payment method was verified. That information was on the original job posting (if you need to double check it's in your inactive candidacies list, status hired).

I stopped working, but I didn't receive timelog on my e-mail on Sunday. Today is Wednesday but nothing has come...

Unfortunately, there was a little glitch in the system and the time log review email never went out this week (not just to you - to everyone). You can still check for pending credit in Billing & Payment and look at your work activity for last week.

Usman,
You definitely need to take more oDesk tests - in the skills you list in your profile. Also, fill out the resume section of your profile - it is currecnly empty.
Add a picture to your profile and think of a chatchier title - rather than one that simply lists your skills. Same about the objective - specify what you can do for the Buyer rather than once again listing your skills.
Good luck!
Olga
