Hi mga sis!

Sino nag-withdraw today? Nagwithdraw ako ng funds from oDesk to my Paypal account just now. I receieved the oDesk Notification of Payment Confirmation. Pero wala pa sa Paypal ko, wala pa rin yung Withdrawal Notification.  Delay lang kaya 'to?

thanks sa info about sa minimum rate..  mga sis yung tungkol sa exams.. let's say 4.5/ 5 pero below average di nadapat ipopost yun kahit 4.5? mejo nalitokasi ko dahil yung ibang exam 3.++ lang pero above average tapos yung mas mataas below average.. mabilis lang naman yung time ng pag take.

ang hivap makahanap ng work sa odesk.. di ko pa na try magapply sa hourly nakakatakot kasi yung net namin.

Hi mga sis! pasingit lang po.. sino po dito gamit BDO for withdrawal?
Anong account po ba okay for odesk? Currently i'm using BPI easy saver. Ok naman siya. Gusto ko lang po mag open sa BDO. Ano po ba ang kaibahan nito sa BPI if ever may masuggest kayong savings account sa bdo? Thank you po! Godbless!

Yay for the increased hourly rate! I've been raising my rate na din eversince I've read Celine Roque. I'm happier with each new oDesk job. Thinking of going Digital Nomad soon! <3

Subscribing to this thread. Kakaresign ko lang from my job as a CSR in the call center world since I recently gave birth couple of mos ago, ayun ni-resurrect ko ulit si Odesk profile ko and take as many tests as I can. Medyo considered as newbie pa din but thankfully there are several Odesk groups and so many inspiring and success stories. Right now, I'm eyeing for a VA position though I don't have any feedback/experience pa but know some basic. Tama nga apply lang ng apply and happy about the recent increase ng Odesk rate.

just got a new contract! yey! i now have 2 part time jobs na flexi time na may regular work monthly.

thinking of increasing my hourly rate in future applications kaya lang baka wala ng mag hire sa akin since hindi naman na sobrang baba ng currently hourly rate ko.

Hi! may mga opportunities ba dito for accountant or most of the job for writer and programmer? TIA

[MissChievous]

@purple_girl

Don't be scared of raising your hourly rate, sis. As long as you can provide quality work. Know your worth. Good luck!

@jazrina

There are jobs for accountant din sis.

[purple_girl]

^thanks sis! will probably raise my rate na sa future projects ko

[friendlyneighbor]

Wow! Mag Thread 18 na pala tayo.    May fee na ba mga sis for BDO withdrawals?

[irismarie]

Hi sis,

I tried to withdraw funds to BDO and I think 300 ang remittance fee. So after nun, sa ibang bank na lang. Hehe.

[annamonique]

Hi sisses! I am new to odesk. I just sign up last Saturday with them. I already completed my profile and sent several job applications as well. I received 1 active candidacy this morning for data entry work and the client is asking me to send scanned copy of my passport or ID for proof of my identity. I am not comfortable sending my ID though and thinking maybe it's just a scam. I know that I can just verify myself only to Odesk right? Okay lang ba iwithdraw ko nalang yung application ko sakanya?

[gypske]

^sis, you can withdraw your application. Sa dami ng identity theft na nangyayari, we should be careful, lalo na if di naman verified yung client and if kailangan talaga sa job na inaplyan mo.

hi sisses, meron na po bang nakapag-migrate to Canada (or any other country) na nagwowork sa oDesk? My family and I are planning to migrate to Canada, kaso hindi ko sure paano sagutan yung sa occupation and how I can provide certificate of employment. 

hope someone can give their insights. thanks! 

[gypske]

sis, Odesk only provide certificate of earnings - sa REPORTS tab of your Odesk.
With regards to certificate of employment, if matagal ka na sa client mo, try to ask for a certificate of employment.

I guess it's easier if you're paying taxes and sss and philhealth and pag-ibig, because you can provide them of your payments and forms as proof and occupation as Online freelancer.

Hirap naman makakuha ng jobs sa odesk pag kakastart mo lang. Tapos ngayon for data entry jobs andaming "clients" na di naman legit ang pinopost na jobs, and the jobs will eventually get suspended.
