First 1,000 Working Hours at oDesk

2012-03-10T20:06:00.001+08:00

After working at oDesk for 7 months I finally achieved my first 1,000 hours!

I am so happy about it cause I never thought that I will be able to achieve it this soon, I thought it will took me a year since getting a full time contract was really hard at first, good thing I was able to get one and now I have 3 full time contracts, wishing for more working hours.

And thanks oDesk for giving moms like me an opportunity to earn while staying at home with our kids.

My Life as a Freelancer

2012-02-28T23:13:00.004+08:00

I've been working on Odesk as a Freelancer for over six months now and I can say that I am very happy that a friend who is also a freelancer told me and encouraged me to join. It was really hard to land a job at first, it took me weeks to finally had one and I even started on a very low rate but the good thing is after two months I finally had my first full time job, the rate is really not that big, but that is Ok.

As a stay at home mom, Odesk is really a big help to me, I never thought that I will be able to earn this way. As of now I have 3 ongoing contracts and I am happy to have it although sometimes I think that I don't have much time for my daughter anymore but I try my best to make up with it over the weekends.

Others thought that being a freelancer is easy but they thought wrong, there are deadlines to meet, tasks to finish but what I love about being a freelancer is that I just stay home to do my job, no need to catch for the bus in the morning, rush home at night, experience the traffic, I hate those things.

So to all the freelancers like me, Cheers for more contracts and a brighter future.
