Hi all. I've been a member of odesk for over a year now and up to know I haven't landed a job. I don't try applying much because I often get rejected.
Right now I'm taking tests to make my a bit qualified.
Any tips on how to land jobs in odesk or what jobs I could take to help me earn? I don't mind doing easy work anyway. I just want to earn so I could have money to spend.

I'm not join with a site that need us to wait or need us to make a test to qualified us.I will abandoned it, even we can earn lot of money from it if we get qualified.
I join with Mturk recently and only pick a job that didn't need qualifications in order to do it.

From my experience, odesk pepole want quality output. So that before assigning any work, they will check the party is capable of doing the work and if they are not satisfied with the test, you may not selected.
It clearly says that we should be aware of the work that they provide to us. And they expect us to do it neatly and correctly. The on-line test give some what clear picture of our knowledge and they will take a decision on the bais of our details provided.
If you find not suitable and they already rejected, find something else and try.
Best of luck and regards,
Thank-s
