What is Odesk |
| Odesk is a Global Market place. As a marketplace, it is a meeting place of buyers and sellers. Companies use this opportunity to post jobs and workers or Contractors as Odesk calls benefits by applying for it. What makes Odesk working is the safeguards it has for buyers and sellers. Two options provided here are are Hourly jobs and Fixed price job. There are jobs for almost everyone out there. They have their own examinations to test the contractors. Odesk hourly jobs are managed via Team Software. It provides the Screen shots of the progress of your job. This will be the record employer verifies before he okays payment. |

- Hourly jobs Guarantee payment because, Odesk holds the money for the job in escrow. Once the employer verifies the Team software and okays the payment is released.
- Team software helps Odesk and contractors to prove the hours spent on the Job. This comes handy as far as the hourly jobs are concerned.
- Odesk has its own tests to find qualified contractors.

Negatives |
- There are some complaints about the intrusive nature of Team software.

Report Card. |
| From my experience I would suggest Odesk takes care of all the negatives. It is a great opportunity and a perfect place for a beginner to begin. Eventhough feedback is important to succeed, we can build the feedback by offering to work for less. Once you have a feedback, you can always find jobs that pays more. |
I would Give * * * * * * * * 9/10 for Odesk.
