Overview

Over the past few years, the Philippines has established itself as one of the top countries in the global outsourcing industry. The industry has grown rapidly because it has the ingredients critical to outsourcing service providers and customers. These include large-scale people resources, with close to half-a-million English-speaking students graduating from college yearly, a well-deserved reputation for excellence in communication skills, interpersonal warmth, customer-service orientation, problem-solving abilities, and cultural affinity with Western markets and customs, and an operational cost advantage, with costs competitive with any supplier country in the world.

i joined odesk early this month. at first I find it very difficult to apply for a job because there are lot of competitors, but because of my patience, i was able to receive my first interview and luckily i got the job. And after 3 weeks I receive my first payment amounting to $40 for my 8 hours of work.
Thank you oDesk and will keep on working online.
