Simillarities of Elance and Odesk Word 2007 tests as of 21 June 2012

How to pass Elance or Odesk Word 2007 Test

Are there any differences between Elance and Odesk?

These two sites biggest online freelance sites though others exists, These two sites are credible sites and I would personally recommend them to you if you are seriously looking for a job online. Leave alone the illegitimate sites that promise online jobs after pay  a certain amount. Registering and working with Elance or Odesk is free. You only pay a certain percentage after you work and the rest is transferred to you.

If you choose to work on hourly basis, then Odesk would be appropriate for you ,but if you choose to work on fixed price projects which is risky, you can sign up with Elance. Elance uses escrow and Odesk does not. Escrow protects you from the clients who take long to pay because the clients are required to fund the project before Elance will allow it to begin. The client is also  protected  because before he releases the fund he has to be satisfied with the work done for him.

One good thing about Elance is that it promotes high paying projects though it can take many days to win your first project on Elance. Odesk on the other hand promotes low paying projects. If you are a novice online job-seeker , then using Odesk is good because there are plenty of jobs there with low budget that you can apply for so that you can build your feedback and hours worked consistently.

I think it is better to open both Elance and Odesk accounts and create impressive profiles on both of them.  One way of making impressive profiles is to do the tests. Fortunately, to sit for these tests is totally free unlike in guru freelance site when you have to pay. I would advise you to sit for the same exam on the same day when your mind is fresh because the questions are mostly set the same except for a few.
