How to Land a Job at Odesk?

Being a work at home mom was quite hard at first. Having to feel the pressure of taking care of your child and wanting to earn extra. When I am starting, I have joined and read threads on forums like the GTALK which helped me a lot to know more about earning through the worldwideweb. In here, I was introduced to ODESK....

So what is Odesk.com?
> Odesk.com (The On Demand Global Workforce - oDesk)serves as a marketplace for online workers. It is a platform wherein employers and contractors interact


What will I do to get hired?
> Create your Contractor Profile - this will serve as your online resume
> Read the different Odesk team application
> Take the free Odesk Skill test
> Search for jobs
> Write a very good and catching cover letter
> Give a very good impression on interviews
> Finally, get hired

I will post later on how and what are the job available here and how payments are done. Right now I have 2 employer and working 30 hours a week. I am enjoying the flexibility of my working time and having to earn at the comforts of our home.

It's not about Money! It's all about LOVE!

There are things in our life that we can't control and we can't stop from happening. It is like the sun rises every morning and goes down as the night falls. Our life is too short to have so much burdens and problems to deal with. Right now, we are busy working ourselves to death for us to have a better living. Others chooses to have a controlled number of kids because of financial reasons too. Everything must be about money, money and money.

On this note, I have known an old couple who has an adopted child. They are too busy working during their younger days that they forgot to have a child of their own. It is just right now that they realized that. I have talked to the older lady and she shared to me how simple her wants at this point in time. She just wanted to have a small house that they can manage on their own. A small kitchen, a room, a living room and a bathroom with has floral bath towels hanging. She also mentions that her husband loves to bathe in their double shower head because of the pressure of the water coming out from it that was like massaging him. But right now that his knee is not that strong he uses a shower stool and now taking a bath sitting. They love each other so much that all they wanted now is to have a simple life.

Learning from them, it is not always about money. It is about how you are able to build a family that cares for each other, a family that will love you unconditionally.

Learning How to Drive

Today is the day that I will learn how to drive. I am so excited yet nervous because it was more that 5 years since hubby taught me how to drive. I know that it will take me much courage to overcome this feeling. What I do know in my mind is that I have to know the basic parts of a vehicle and what are its function.

It took us so long to start this driving lessons because our car was in and out of the auto repair shop due to the typhoon Ondoy last year. I still remember that day that our car was transformed into a submarine as it was really submerged into the flood water. The first thing the mechanic checked was the computer box if it was working or not. They have also check engine light since it will tell if the computer box was still working. Luckily, we didn't have to buy a new one since it worked properly on our car.

After that long, tedious and expensive car repairs, I honestly admit that we have reached to the point that we want to sell our car. One of our choices brand of car is the Toyota Camry for its sophisticated look. But, hubby really loves his first car so much so we decided to skip with the buying and focus on how to customize and beautify his car.

My artscow photo book...

Yes! The mail man was here today and handed me my artscow photo book which I ordered two weeks ago. It was my first time to order from them and it will definitely not be the last. I am very much okay with the quality of prints they had and also the quality of the photo paper that they used. Plus the fact that when you are a member of their site, you get every now and then discount coupons which you can use to buy stuff from them. Some of them have shipping fee but most of the time members enjoy the benefit of the free shipping. Like for this 20 pages photo book, it only cost me $0.99 and it came with a free shipping. (I will post the picture of it on the next day since I have to buy first a card reader.)

So if you are interested to be a member just visit them at Artscow.

Do you have a Physical Activity?

Came from an industry where you are always on the go, the Hospitality Industry, will give you enough activities to burn down those fats. It is like your form of exercise that is why even you don't go to the gym often, you feel rejuvenated. It is because your body is always on the move and your body is working burning the fats. But, what if you suddenly have a career shift? A career wherein you have less activities and you spent most of the day in front of your computer. A change of career but same amount of food intake. Well, you will have a problem there in the long run. Because, your body will not have enough activities to bring down those fats. The time you spent working in front of the computer is also the same time your body is storing fats on your body. And with you continuously doing this, you might end up gaining weight. So, it is important to match your lifestyle with an exercise that will compensate to the amount of food you are eating.

On Medication

Lately, I have been experiencing dizziness and felt that my surrounding was rotating. It happened to me twice within a week period. So we decided to go to the doctor for a check up. What the doctor did tell me was that I might have a Vertigo because I suffered from astigmatism also. He prescribed seven different kinds of medicines for my condition. I am not a medicine drinker but having to experienced the dizziness that I felt made me take it religiously. Hope it will get better and i will be undergoing Blood Chemistry again next month.
