thanks mate! glad to have helpful mods in this forum

hey there..i have another question

 supposing i already applied for the job..do i need to post a public message for the buyer? does posting a public message for the buyer add some chances of getting hired?
 

Unless there is something that you forgot to include in the application letter - or a reply to an additional requirements added by Buyer (or posted on the message board), there is no need to post a public message in addition to the application.

Olga

oh right..thanks again olga! im beginning to be a fan of yours i hope itll be ok if i continue to post here in this thread whenever i encounter problems or questions

 thanks again!
 

hey again Olga!

im here again with another question

i don't quite understand the mail @Odesk.com...my guess is that its in MY MESSAGE CENTER..every mail sent thru apaullo@odesk.com  is in there? or its in another email account that i have to sign in first?  

Only messages from oDesk (interviews, new assigments, withdrawals, etc) is shown in the message center.  All other emails sent to your @odesk.com email is forwarded to the email address you have on file here.

help! im panicking now!!

i have my first assignment! it is currently active on MY ASSIGNMENTS page, but i have NO IDEA how to start! he just hired me without interview so i have no idea how to contact him! i have some questions but i have no idea where to reach him, can someone help or show me how to reach this buyer? this is my first assignment and i want to look good!! 

thanks!

 P.S. Danalyn thanks for the clarification!
 

you can check your Message Center, and under Account Alerts, you'll get a 'Assignment ###### has begun'.... open that and you'll find the buyer's contact information

 Good luck!

hey there..thanks for the info!!

 i checked it out and its all there! thanks again!

 

i have another problem though...how can i search using only the JOB ID??

 and also..how can i give feedback to my employer?

 

Here's the directions for leaving feedback on an ended job.

You may search by Job Opening ID using the usual job search box. Make sure you select all jobs in case it's in progress, ended, or cancelled. But the job will not show up if the buyer has made it private. Please note that it has to be the Job Opening ID, not the candidacy ID or the assignment ID. And if you've already applied to the job it'll still be there in My Candidacies for you to look at.

thanks with the directions! i appreciate it!

thanks!

another question again though...

 when the buyer left a feedback on you with one particular assignment...of course it would show up in your work history and feedback...but not in your account profile feedback? i mean at the top part of your profile feedback. i just though itll be the with the work feedback

It'll show up in both places - but the two sections of the profile are actually updated on different schedules. The overall feedback score is usually only updated once a day, I think. If the overall profile rating doesn't appear by tomorrow, please submit a help ticket.
