I'm a new oDesk member. I just registered last week. And so far,my job application has been rejected 3 times. How can I increase my chances of being hired by a company in oDesk.

I also work on odesk, and did finally get a couple of jobs. It seemed a little slow at first but I finally completed my profile and took several of the tests. Just take as many tests as you can to prove that you have the skill sets the clients are looking for. That should help. Also try applying for a few smaller jobs before going for the big, long term projects. Hope that helps!

Hi allenbucks, I am a member of ODesk as well. You can increase your chances of being hired by taking the ODesk proficency tests and getting a high score on them. I hope that helps. Have a great day.

that's my query too and until now im still pitch black on the transactions there. i read some reviews and things related to how to get hired there. i also took a test and i was just glad that i passed. i think i had to study first so i can pass more tests.let's just take that one step at a time. i believe that luck will just knock right at our doors.

oDesk is a reliable freelancing site.At first you may not hired but it is not a problem.Always try to keep in mind that professionalism is key for better performance at freelance work.
