oDesk Makes Job Hunt Easy During Economic Crunch
November 13, 2008 by
Job cuts and major changes in corporate strategies have left millions of Americans without jobs, and the technology sector is one of several industries suffering the consequences of the recent economic turmoil. However, the talented pool of 
technology professionals making their way out of the workforce - at least temporarily - can pick up work easily with the help of online job sites such as oDesk.
oDesk is a global marketplace for freelancers, where certified professionals can pick up real jobs with guaranteed payment - and do it all from the comfort of home. oDesk provides services to create an 'on-demand global workforce', making it easy for technology professionals to network with companies in need of their services. The recent economic upheaval is making sites like oDesk a tremendously valuable resource for technology professionals who are now desperately hunting for legitimate jobs online.
What Makes oDesk Different than Freelance Job Boards?
The San Jose Business Journal reports that oDesk currently features over 125,000 freelance technical professionals from around the world. Companies can hire skilled talent on an outsourcing basis from countries in the Far East, South America and even Australia.
oDesk serves as a global job marketplace where freelancers can pick up work on a contract basis and keep track of their projects on a web-based interface. The key difference between oDesk and the average online job board is that skilled workers can obtain certification for their particular niche so that job providers can track them down with ease.
Each oDesk member creates a working profile page that allows them to list all of their skills, experience, and background so that companies can 'pre-qualify' candidates for certain jobs. oDesk also makes it easy for freelancers to join a remote team of a company; the oDesk interface helps break down the barriers of communicating with in-office staff members, making it easier for the freelancer to work in an online collaborative environment.

While bias and partisanship in televised news coverage can be more easily identified, we must not forget that print media is subject to the same trappings of money and personal preferrence.
