How to make the most out of your oDesk profile?

My suggestion to making the most out of your oDesk profile is to take tests, lots of them. You especially want to take all of the English ones because a lot of employers on oDesk want English speaking/writing contractors only. They will check your profile for your English testing scores.

So, where do you find these tests? Once you've signed up with oDesk, click home. Then click on contractor profile in the top right. On the next page you will see a link for tests in the top left. Take a bunch of them. It will help your profile out a lot. Aside from the oDesk Readiness Test, some of the other tests I have taken include Microsoft Excel 2010, English Spelling, English Basic Skills, Office Skills, and more.
