ODesk Newbie Here
Submitted by yourassistance on Wed, 2008-10-08 00:37. Coffee Break
Hi All,
Just another newbie hanging around. I just wanted to clarify something before I start applying for jobs etc.
I you are successful in getting a job and you are about to start it, you just have to have the Odesk Team open and then it starts logging time for the job right?
Or do I need to click on a start/stop button, what if I need to go to the bathroom or answer a call during work, is there a pause button or do I just continue to let it capture and then go back and delete the time that it took me to answer the call etc.
A step by step would be great.
Thanks
Elise

Welcome to oDesk,
Welcome to oDesk, Elise!
First you need to make sure you are hired for the assignment. Go to My Assignments page and see if the assignment in question is in the list of Active Assignments.
Depending on oDesk Team settings, it can launch on start-up, or you can start it manually every time. See here for more details.
Once you are finished with the assignment for the day, you can Exit oDesk Team or Disconnect. To pause oDesk Team to asnwer a call or run an errand, choose Suspend. All of these are avaiable from the pop-up menu, brought-up by right clicking on the oDesk Team icon.
Hope this helps and let me know if there are any further questions,
Olga
