I got hired for hourly job, now what?
Submitted by babuks on Fri, 2008-10-24 06:05. Help Desk
This is my first hourly paid job. I have done some fixed price job before. But, how can I start the things? I have downloaded the oDesk software. Can I just start it and start working? or is there anything else?
My assignment has already begun and I need help ASAP. Please anyone.

Hi, as long as the buyer has provided you with the proper direction, you need only launch 'oDesk Team' and select the buyers name from the list of 'assignments' that you'll see there. The pop up with give you an option to mark a 'memo'. For myself I typically put the memo the name of the project I'm working on - for instance 'advertising/press release/ website development' etc.
Make sure you don't accidentally pick the wrong customer from the list or you'll need to move the hours into the right client as offline time. Also please note one other thing: If you log out when you try to log back in the 'team' will use the 'last job you worked on' as the start up client so make sure to check it each time you log back in.
Good luck! Hope this helps.
