O-desk.com


Recommended Posts

chagaan lang mag apply dito.. odesk is a web portal for employers and job seekers. I should say masmabilis makakuha ng trabaho dito kesa sa ibang web portals. There are two types of job openings set by employers:

 

project based - you are charging them by the project (you set the terms like 50% down - 50% upon completion, or no down.. bahala ka)

hourly based - This is the best advantage ng odesk. You are charging them per hour (wag nyo naman sirain ang dangal ng mga pilipino para pumatol sa mga less than $1/hr. remember kayo din ang gumagastos ng internet at kuryente nyo.

 

Know your worth. Kung sa office environment kumikita kayo ng 1k/day, and hanap nyo sa odesk ay similar work, then please, try to give an asking price of at least $4/hr. Match the opening with its actual rate here in our country at least. Pero, wag naman tayo magpabarat, hindi natin need ang ganitong job kung pati sa dayuhan online magpapa isang kahig isang tuka din tayo.

 

Maraming barat na employers, especially the Europeans. But marami din OK magbayad as in mejo lower than actual rate from their country, but equivalent to under the table US jobs (5-11 USD per hour starting) I've seen some profiles who are under contract of $20/hr, pinoy din sya.

 

Mejo mataas ang competition dito, especially we have India to compete with. And it's no different from the real world job applications or project proposals. may letter of introduction talaga kayo na gagawin. Buff up your profile: take tests for proficiency dahil lalabas din to sa profile nyo, fill your profile with information that attract them that you can really do the job without problems. In other words, please the employer to get the job. Maraming employers na tamad at ang gusto nila ay taong mapagkakatiwalaan nila, especially online, hindi nila nakikita mga employees nila.

 

Mejo matagal din ako naghanap ng work dito until I nailed one. Chagaan lang na makauna sa pila ng mga job openings. These people swarm like bees. Pag may job opening, expect in an hour na number 10 ka na sa pila. Sometimes even more.

 

So if you wish to get jobs on this site, chagain mo lang and you will get one.

i checked the website... it's hard work... you work 40 hours a week and you get paid monthly? that's too much of a risk for me. dunno about others...

well, to each his own... i think oDesk work is better for me. some jobs only require about 5-10 hours a week, which is a good thing since i have a full-time job anyway.

 

incidentally, your signature caught my eye... i suppose you're from CVG? (off-topic na... hehe)

Errr, you can earn big here if you have the right skills. I was once offered an interview with a pay of $1,000 a week for legal consultancy. Sad to say, I didn't have the qualifications and I don't have a law degree so I had to decline. I'm looking into some design jobs just to earn extras. :)

Been working here for 3 years now as a Graphic Designer / Animator. Sipag at Tyaga lang. Kelangan magaling kang mambola ng foreigner at magaling ka sa trabahong aapplyan mo. Earning $1500 monthly plus mdami pang on the side.

Nakabili ako ng kotse within 1 year. Next target ko bahay na. :) Tyaga lang talaga...

I have a friend who worked as a writer here and was closing 40K every month for a few hours a day. Matagal na kasi siya so matas na yung per hour at per article rate niya. She stopped after a year kasi na-bore daw siya sa bahay. So she actually took a job that paid a bit lower but made her interact personally with co-workers. Tapos she also did not like the off meeting hours with clients from other countries / time zones. Pero if you want to work from home and kung matyaga ka, o-desk is for you.

Odesk has been both a blessing and a nightmare for an employer like myself.

I've had great contractors who delivered as promised - on budget, on time, and spot-on quality.

And then I've had contractors who were not half as good as their resume/feedback comments say. As soon as I find a contractor Bullshitting me with outrageous progress, i.e., that time a contractor spent over 3 hours coding the social media icons so they change color when you hover-really so simple, I call the bullshit. I do pay for the time, I'm not one to take advantage, but guess who keeps bugging me for jobs now? Cheating gets you small wins, but for long term success, get your s@%t right, work hard, work smart, and work with integrity.
