Tin - I don't know if may job na offered sa under grads. Pero I suggest, don't mention na under grad ka, if you think you know your capacity naman. Like, alam mo office work kahit di ka graduate, it won't hurt to lie a little. After all, sa oDesk naman di kame (recruiters/HR) humihingi ng credentials like Diploma etc etc. Basta hired ka based sa nasa profile mo
Kame nga, kahit empty profile minsan, hinahire namin kase we have a testing phase and if maayos namang maipasa mga tests, then we hire. Atska, di dapat hadlang ang di nakatapos para magkarun ng magandang work, diploma lang meron kame sayo
Marose - ayun, sabe ko na kaw yun sis eh! pwede ka sa Legal Department sis
Nagkaroon kame ng opening diyan one time. Wag ka lang sa documents, sayang. Maganda sa Legal, para kahit mag $30/hr ka, bawi ka na
Re taking a risk - ganda din yan pag minsan pero not most of the time. Parang sa sugal lang yan, you bet a big amount, you win - Swerte! Pero what if kabaliktaran nangyari di ba? joining oDesk is risky talaga lalo na if may local work ka and iiwanan mo, just for the sake na "o dito na ako", kase dito, your employer can always end your contract. Di ito tulad ng local work na, na-end ang contract mo, may habol ka. Dito wala! as in wala! :-) Nung nagpaalam ako when I reached 7th month, akala ko wala na ako babalikan kase mukhang malabo na, madami pwede nila i-hire sa oDesk na pwede nila ipalit sakin, pero di naman ako pinalitan. My contract remained open naman, thank God!
And when I gave birth, I was still given another 2 months before I go back. Yun nga lang syempre, I don't get paid nung di ako nagwowork. But, it's okay kase baby first dapat :-)
Pia - yup meron sila website. Check niyo ito:
www.odesk.com. Akala ko noon, di rin ito totoo. Pero since sa house lang naman ako nun at I have all the time para magbasa basa, ayan napa-sign up ako. Re payment/sweldo, my employer pays mer through oDesk (walang palya), since may tracker kame dito na dinadownload how to get paid. So umaandar ang tracker basta naka-IN ka. Gaya ngayon, naka-IN ako pero naka GT
LOL! Then, I withdraw my sweldo from oDesk going through paypal, then from paypal going through my bank account (BPI). Madali lang talaga siya :-)
