Also, because my spam filter flagged your cover letter/resume as spam, I'd recommend revising your cover letter tactics for oDesk – buyers are typically less forgiving than an automated filter. I'd also recommend reading in full what you are submitting your resume and cover letters to before actually submitting them. For example: neither this post or any of my other posts state that I am hiring at all…which makes your (now spam) cover letter and resume completely irrelevant and inappropriate. This is one way to guarantee a buyer won't hire you – they want people who pay attention, not those who randomly submit cover letters without acknowledging the details in the post.

Be sure to post your resume on your oDesk profile and use my recommendations in this post to optimize your profile and portfolio. You can read more about profiles here, and be sure to customize your cover letters.

I cannot help you get a job. I can only give tips to guide you in the right direction (which are found throughout this site), but the rest is up to yourself to make it happen.

Self-assessed English scores are funny. Personally, I think it should be a "communication" assessment…because I suck at English (writing, grammar, etc).

Honestly, if I had scored below 4.5 on my English test, I would have set my self-assessment to 4…it would have been embarrassing as hell (considering this is my native tongue and all)…but I can't exactly round up from anything lower…

Actually, I notice that nearly everyone at oDesk claims perfect English, when many are in fact almost incomprehensible in their forum posts. It makes me wonder about the honesty level for skills. And if people with limited skills are claiming a 5 and you're claiming a 2, it implies that you have very very limited skills, which may not be true. I think it's kind of like grade inflation.

I'm not saying you're the best, don't get a big head now I'm just saying you'd give me a damn good run for my money if we were both trying to take over world. Just saying.
