| Dear all, |
| Today's topic is how to successfully seek work: picking the right jobs and presenting yourself as the right candidate on every job application. You have a job application quota, so put your efforts into the jobs that best suit your skills. As we've discussed, make sure you not only can do the job, but that your profile and cover letterstrongly communicate that to the client. When a client asks for more information, or invites you to interview, respond promptly - clients respect contractors who show an active interest the job that they have posted. Look for a good match between yourself, the work and the client. Seek out clients with good feedback, whose job postings clearly communicate what they need. One more thing to consider: Is the job hourly or fixed-price? Hourly work contributes more to your work history and shows future clients that you have established a track record on oDesk. Additionally, only hourly work is covered by the oDesk Guarantee. However, fixed-price jobs are often easier to get as a new contractor. You might start with fixed-price jobs, but you should look to the greater potential of hourly work as soon as you've developed some work history on oDesk. We have now completed our "Getting Started" series. All the tips and resources we have shared in these emails are available as in oDesk QuickStart Guide for you to review any time. |
