A week ago, I had got a Spam Cover Letter warning from oDesk. The following was the ticket sent to me by odesk. Remember that if someone doesn't reply to this email warning within 24 hours, the oDesk suspends the contractor's account.

Thanks GOD, I had saw the message otherwise, oDesk might suspend my account. I had replied oDesk within 2 hours. The purpose of sharing this post is the inform you that never use the spam cover letter, and never copy and paste the same cover letter again and again. Write a unique cover letter with different skill (as required) for each job post.

Thank God you "had saw"? Are you a profesional writer? Does oDesk do any screening for qualifications? Scary!
ReplyDeleteno, i'm not a professional writer, and when i need some help, i hire a writer. i don't know about the screening, but i know well that they are looking at each and every cover letter, as they had mentioned this fact in the reply to my message.
