Hourly Rate -- Advice please?

[Exp U]

Hi, I am brand new to oDesk and just getting my profile set up. However, I can't progress beyond the hourly rate section because I have NO IDEA what to put there. I don't work on an hourly rate, I simply charge a flat fee for each job (based on the level of detail expected). But there doesn't seem to be any option for flat-fees. Is there a work-around for this? If not, is there anyone out there who has adjusted their flat-rate pricing schedule to an hourly rate? I could really use some guidance... Thank you!

Hi, You have to write some kind of hourly rate, it isn't optional at the moment. If you only wish to apply for fixed price roles, then do just that and ignore invitations and posts for hourly roles.
