Being new on oDesk can be tough for a professional. Without any
feedback or past projects on your profile, clients don’t seem to want to
hire you just yet.
They want talented, experienced, and knowledgeable freelancers – with at least 100 oDesk hours. Yikes! How will a newbie empty of these things be able to land their first job then?
Being a newbie freelancer myself, this is exactly what was on my mind when I only had a simple profile and a few of my past works. I knew I was facing a very tough competition, most of which are being driven by price. But I was determined to make my first break, and luckily I was successful.
