Do any members of odesk have some tips I can follow in order to get a job with companies on this site? I have only applied to three different peoples postings but im still worried I will not get hired for any jobs. Any comments will be great!

Me too! I have applied so many times but there is still no one wanted to hire me. It is so frustrating. But I will not give up and try to apply many jobs as I can until I get hired. Good luck to you. I hope by now you already have an employer. :)

Hi oscar6!
Maybe you need to check your resume. Is it too short? Are the details not comprehensive enough for the reader? I checked some contractors' profiles and compared my resume with theirs. I had to objectively assess how my resume was doing and I had to check it from a buyer's point.
You need to write a good cover letter too and take oDesk tests to show how knowledgeable and skilled you are.
Just keep on applying and in time, you'll get your first job.
Good luck! :)
