It's been two days and I filed seven candidacies. Of which two were rejected because I lost the bid and four others which are still under consideration. I'm really worried that this might not work out for me. I was bidding a low $2.50 an hour for one job to at least get my feet wet and hopefully get a positive review s. I checked on the blogs and found a compatriot who had posted her o desk blog and was able to send a message through facebook. She told me that it took her two weeks to get her first job and after that jobs just kept on coming. I am just so hungry for a job today that I had even offered to transcribe a ten page hand written scan to word for free in the hope that I could do repeat business with that buyer. This is driving me crazy. I told myself, with my current experience I could just walk up to the nearest call center office and get a job contract the same day. But I just so badly want to be able to work at home. My mom's visiting the country by January and there is no way any company's workforce or team lead is going to give me two weeks off the job even without pay without firing me.
So here I am refining my resume for Odesk buyers in the hope of getting a job. I photoshopped my portrait and turned it into a logo of sorts as well as converted my resume from .docx to a .pdf file. Later I'm going to have to edit my blog and try to proof read them. It's just that when I wrote some of them I was just writing thinking no one would ever bother reading them. Now that I'm selling myself to Odesk buyers I realize that I can't afford not to run spellchecker at least.
