Had my first odesk interview for an interesting VA job

Congrats to you.. I will try my luck also there at odesk.. I am really looking for a part time or extra income to pay some bills.. I really want to help with our bills.. as a stay at home mom though I love taking care of my family I really need to think also how to help to pay some bills..

That is a good start! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. But do try to apply on other vacancies as well, as back up, just in case. That was what I did when I started with odesk. I wasn't really aware of the virtual assistant job, so I was applying most of the time as a telemarketer. But along the way, I found out that I am really not fit for that kind of job, although I really did my best to give positive leads to my employer. After my stint as a telemarketer, I switched to data entry, lead generation and then finally the virtual assistant position. It was fun, really!

Oh that is great that you were given an opportunity to be interviewed. I hope you'll get the job. I have registered at Odesk a long long time ago. But I don't really know how to apply for a job or how to it. I hope you can help me. Can I invite you here as my friend?

Wow! Good for you. I have been trying my luck in oDesk too but still unlucky. Hahaha! I have applied to few jobs, NO, actually, a LOT of jobs in oDesk but I keep getting turned down either because the job has ended/closed or they prefer full time applicants. I'm currently looking for part-time jobs online and I'm hoping oDesk will be the answer to my needs. It's been more than two weeks now since my friend and I have been trying to land part-time jobs in oDesk. I'm still hopeful though. I really hope I'd find that part-time job soon. Or maybe you can refer me incase your employer is looking for part-timers. ;)

good luck to you. Is your site o desk good all over? say here in Mexico. I might be interested if it is. Have a super monday there. Take care..:)

Keep it up! I am a Freelancer from odesk too for almost 3 years now. I resigned from my previous job and prefers to work from home. I am getting the same earning from working in the office and working from home. Just have more patience, always do the extra mile for your clients. God Bless!

Its really exciting to venture to new areas like online jobs. I started signing up in odesk way back 2008 when i just resigned from my last job and wanted to be a full time mother. I never was that serious with odesk yet but last December of 2012 my sister told my to apply and update my profile in odesk so that her boss can hire me as her counterpart in Customer Service Relations. I did what i was told to do and lucky enough i got hired, now i am in my 1st month with my odesk job and although my work time is US time that means i have to be awake for 8 hours when everybody here around me is sound asleep. I grabbed this job because i like working with people and assisting them, compared to call center environment, my odesk job is very simple and pressure-free.. not to mention the pay is slightly higher. I really plan to apply more for future jobs in odesk and i am loving it. Goodluck to your first odesk job and goodluck to me too!

I have been with oDesk since October. I mostly go for English-Spanish and Spanish-English translation. What's tough is most of those jobs require native speakers. I have done transcription there as well. But my repeating contracts there is really about content writing for a website. Basically I have to spin an article or write something from the information given to me by my client. Interviews are cool. The more you apply the more chances of getting a job soon. Just don't apply when there are already 28 applicants or more as it would be difficult to get noticed.

So your area is Math, Jurea? Well, good luck to you. Math happens to be my waterloo. I have never tried Odesk.

congrarulation to you, dear. i registered in odesk few weeks ago and i havent a job to apply till today. it because i have no confidence to aplly some. i think i have ability in writing something in English. but im not a native. then i tried to take a look to some vacancies under writing categories. but, oh gosh, the vacancies have hard requirements. i think my ability doesnt meet all of vacancies there! even some authors require native only. it really dumped me to the bottom. then i kill my spirit to get jobs in odesk. so congratulation to you and i hope you're the one getting that job..#thumb..

Oh that is awesome! Good for you that you don't have to up all night and be real tired. I never had luck with odesk and I always wanted to try it. Hopefully next time ill be lucky like you to accept some jobs;-)

I hope he will choose you jure. And when you get to work for him, give us tips on how to work as Virtual assistant. I like to be one also someday.

Well,hope you got the job.I kno the feeling and its totally exciting.I have started at Odesk only last October.I did not try the site earlier as i did not have much information about site.Plus i am also a newbie in many ways in online world.Well,i tried elance and other such sites but nothing has worked for me till date expect Odesk.I struggled a lot to get my first job and well was happy to get a 5 of 5 in my first feedback.Unfortunately though i did a good job, the next client did not give me a good rating.There could have been some miscommunication but then still i have a feedback above 4.This was first time i used any site for freelance working.I tried applying many jobs and well according to interests but it has not been easy.Some fo the jobs are at night time and i am not looking forward to them.And some are having aggressive timelines which with given things are not possible.Looking forward to earn well in Odesk in 2013 though i have not got any good ones in Odesk from January.Good to know you liked the things.Hopefully things would be better.Enjoy your time!

Hope you get the job. Well could you help me with odesk jobs , i don't know what to do. Just possibly suggest a few steps. i would love to do data entry

Wow! That's a great success, friend. I want to say good luck with your jobs online. Enjoy the first day of your VA jobs...

Congratulations, it sounds nice that you got the job that you wanted that is always good it makes everything better. Good luck and wish you the best.

That is good. Wish you get hired. As for me, someone want to interview with me on Odesk. Just once for almost how many years no one notice me and now, someone wants to interview with me but the problem is Its too late. I have doing myLot more and Fanbox than to concentrate again on Odesk. Besides, I did not know all the feature on Odesk and I forgot all of them.

I really hope you'll get the job. It's really fun working on oDesk. You'll get to meet some really nice employers.

Congratulations to you jure! We could really earn online if we will just be serious about it. In my case before, I was like, I join almost all earning site that they say and it seems that I have no focus. As of now, I had abandoned all those sites and my blog too. It is only myLot that I have now but I don't consider myLot as online earning site. MyLot is part of my routine. I mean, my focus now isn't really working online. Maybe I will go back to it when some things are settled here in our home. Right at this moment, I just want to sleep. This unusual cold weather makes me sleepy all the time. That was out of the topic already. I wish you the best in all your endeavours!

I also like that job. Most of my jobs in odesk is about math and I am well-versed in math.
