I’m writing my experiences as newbie on the online job market place Odesk. If you get the chance to google Odesk on wikepedia it states:
oDesk allows employers (“buyers”) to create online workteams coordinated and paid through the company's proprietary software and website. Prospective employers can post jobs for free, and freelance workers (“providers”) may create profiles and bid on jobs, also for free. The company puts potential providers through “a rigorous screening.”[6] The company collects 10 percent of the payment. Payments are made through oDesk, which handles many bookkeeping tasks for the transaction. In addition to the marketplace aspect and the payment/bookkeeping services, the company uses collaborative software, “oDesk Team,” that allows employers to see a provider's progress while he or she is billing time
My journey began several months ago actually. At that time I was happily working as a representative for a top American credit card company who had partially outsourced their call center workforce to an Indian company. This Indian company I worked for then further outsourced it’s talents to the Philippines. Yeah I know it’s a lot to swallow, then again that’s the truth about the global economy.
