Welcome to oDesk Stephanus!

Welcome to oDesk Stephanus! You've got a good start, but I do have several suggestions for your profile:

  • Use a picture of you, or something with a little more personality instead of a picture of words as your portrait.
  • Take some graphics-related skill tests.
  • Revise your title. There shouldn't be a comma between graphic and design. Cut the word 'Provider' - it's redundant - the buyer already knows you're a provider.
  • If you're going to offer SEO, you must clean up all the text on your profile. There are significant grammatical and punctuation errors throughout. This would less of an issue for 'just' graphics work, but it still looks unprofessional.
  • Remove the oDesk English test from your certifications - it's already listed on your Tests tab.

Are you representing a company? If so, that's fine, but every individual in your company who works on an hourly job must have the own oDesk user ID and be hired by the buyer (go to your Team Admin and invite them to become exclusive Affiliated Contractors). It is not acceptable for multiple people to log hours on under a single user. On a fixed price job it doesn't matter because you just submit the work without logging hours.

 Good luck!
