A Thousand Hours of Freelancing


I have reached my first milestone as freelancer just before the end of February by hitting my first 1000 hours on oDesk. Who could have imagined that i’d last this long. I don’t think that even my friends in the call center would actually think that it was possible. But by God’s grace, it’s now 1000 hrs and counting. It’s 1000 hours of learning, and exploring the different facets of working at home, online.

I’m very grateful to the first person who hired me and who continue to be my employer up to this moment. I have learnt a great deal from him and each day wraps another string in building a stronger professional relationship.

I continue to uphold my desire to build a long term relationship in every work or to every employer I deal with. And as I have stepped into a new phase, this is the same legacy that I’d like to build in my team, the Cebu Virtual Solutions.

One thousand hours would not have been possible if I was doing it all on my own. My wife have been particularly instrumental in this milestone as well. And so are the people who prayed for me and my family.

Cheers to 1000hrs and Cheers to more work assignments!
