[QUOTE="upulpdn, post: 21369584, member: 182056"] [b]මේකවත් කියවපල්ලා[/b] [B] Humble Guy? [/B] Morning all, So today I'm going to share with you, my chat with [B]Mahesh Walatara[/B]. We talked a number of weeks ago on Skype for 1 hour and 40 minutes. To say it was interesting would be an understatement. Unfortunately due to Mahesh's lose tongue and colourful use of language I've had to edit out a lot of the interview. Whilst he is a very entertaining chap, and certainly has strong opinions, his views on race and religion were a bit disturbing if I'm honest so I've decided that I don't want to publish that kind of material on my Blog. Mahesh is aware of the editing and just so you all know, the words on the page you see below are as they were spoken by Mahesh, I have not edited them in the slightest, I've just left out a few of his rants : So without further a due..... Mahesh Walatara. [B][I]Name:[/I][/B]Mahesh Walatara [B][I]Age:[/I][/B] 32 / 34 ?? [B][I]Location:[/I][/B] Sri Lanka [B][I]Occupation:[/I][/B] Graphic / Logo Designer [B][I]When did you first start using oDesk?[/I][/B] In November 2009, some guy mentioned the name on a forum and that’s how I found it. [B][I]So tell me Mahesh, is oDesk the only freelance market site you use?[/I][/B] Yeah everything else sucks. [B][I]How long did it take to get your first job?[/I][/B] 5 weeks. [B][I]And tell us about the job.[/I][/B] An average size logo job. It went pretty well, the guy liked my portfolio. When he hired me I was working for just 3 bucks an hour. It took 21 hours total to complete. [B][I]Were you happy with that rate?[/I][/B] First job yeah, I was mostly wanted the feedback. [B][I]I think that’s the same for a lot of newcomers, would you recommend lowering your rate to get that 1st job so then?[/I][/B] Yeah, lower anyway. [B][I]So what rate are you working on now?[/I][/B] $15 most of the time, sometimes go down to $10 when the jobs are dried up. [B][I]So, do you freelance full-time now?[/I][/B] Yeah [/QUOTE]
