Hello
I am quite new, recently joined odesk and still try to figure how to do things here. I am trying to improve my profile and make it easier to understand. I finished odesk tests and apply for jobs almost everyday for weeks. I got questions for freelancers and client alike to improve my profile and knowledge.
Why it seem difficult to get a good client? Up until now my applications are rejected and I am wondering why. Do you think my profile is not good? Please give some opinion.
I understand that client need review and look at star rating, but how can I get review and stars if I don't get hired yet? Looking at my profile as a client, why would you decide to hire me or not to hire me?
How to decide bidding amount in a job application that lack of job information? For example data entry application asking for clean and precise work with no information on how many data will be or minimum hours per day. Another example translation application asking to work on some pages with no information on font, line spacing, font size, page type, margin, regular translation, and specialized translation (business/medical/computer technology/gaming).
How do you think about the payment rate I ask in my profile? I am quite curious about the payment rate here, I don't know that translating service for 5500+ words can be as cheap as 11$, or maybe it is normal here? In that case is it okay if the service result lacking in quality?
Overall what do you think I should do to get good client?
Thanks
Evan
