I attached this design for one of my job applications to demonstrate my skill. Its an overkill for the task he posted. I have yet to receive a message from the buyer.It's been 9 days and 6 hours since I started looking for a job on Odesk. I have 9 inactive and 12 active candidacies which amounts to 21 freshly written, concise and targeted cover letters.
My profile is at 100% with several Odesk exams and a Brainbench certification. I'm tired, hungry and sad. The only response I got was from a Nigerian scam artist and a Bangladeshi spammer.
No one ever wants to become a failure. I don't want to give up. I just don't. I'm close to tears now realizing that all my efforts have come to nothing but dismal rejection. I want SOMETHING out of this but what?
The ODesk member community has been great providing me with encouragement and support but I got to eat. I need to pay for the bills and without a day job and no social security benefits for unemployment in my country I will be left with no other choice but to smooch on my parents.
My last meal was breakfast 16 hours ago before I went to bed. Oyster mushroom in butter and lemon juice I had prepared for myself. It was the only thing I really enjoyed today
God damn it! At least when I get to one those speed hiring events for talented agents they serve free coffee. In fact the last monthly speed hiring event at my previous day job would had a buffet and a mini concert.
I have reason to believe people are cheating their reviews and creating buying companies themselves with the aim of providing fraudulent buyer feedback. This is sooooo aggravating.
On the bright side I got to chat with EMZ. Emz replied to my post and apparently he lives just nearby (small world indeed) me agreed to meet eye to eye soon. That guitar playin', you tube poster is one lucky bastard. He's got so many prospects that he admits he can't do them all anymore.
I guess even a top notch diploma from an Ivy league university isn't worth anything around here.
