How Can you create your Profile 100% on oDesk:
Every contractor needs a profile to
showcase their skills as a freelancer. How you create
your profile tells exactly how you are. So don't copy other's profile, make them stand out.
How will you create a profile that can stand out?
Take oDesk Readiness (Two Readiness test)Test first:
Everyone should take oDesk Readiness Test. In this way, clients see you as a person not an auto
generated bot.
Take Skills Test:
Skills test will determine your skill. Take tests related to your skills.
Do not attempt to cheat because it will only hurt your reputation in the long run. Answer
honestly.
Upload a portrait:
The portrait must be professional looking. Not those taken somewhere
with friends or those commonly used pictures in social networking sites. This is work, so
treat it as one. A good portrait doesn't have unnecessary background. White is preferred.
Clothes in the picture must look professional too.
Create a unique title:
A title must not just have your skill, show what other things you
know. Be unique and descriptive. Ex. Web Designer (CSS, HTML, JavaScript) and SEO Freelance
Writer
Build your Objective:
Your objective is your sales pitch. Write objectives that will draw
the employer's attention. Be creative, clients will know if your objective is just taken in
the internet.

Any works related to your skill can be your portfolio. If you don't
have one, I'm sure you have school or personal projects that you have kept elsewhere.
Education and Certification:
Education tells how deep your level of understanding is. Show
off what you have attained, describe the degrees you have taken. If you have honors and special
mentions describe them too.Most freelancer have certifications, most don't. If you have one, it
is one of your greatest advantage. Show off your scores too.

entry position, show data entry skills like for example MSExcel, MSword, or Powerpoint. Treat
each as a skill and not in groups(MSOffice Applications).
