Overall Difficulty of Tasks: Medium

• I have shortlisted 8 candidates and messaged them for their internet and pc speed test.

• Although I have just finished the hiring process and have finalized a candidate(M. Azhar from Pakistan), interviewed him via skype, also shared a folder with him, but didn’t open the contract yet because I don’t want to experience another M.Ayub (A contractor who was very hard to handle because of his low internet and pc skills).

  He has a very fast Pc and a powerful internet connection (5 times more fast than any other applicant), but I have a feeling that he hasn’t a good understanding of computers and internet and he is not a good starter because he has asked me questions that are clearly written in the training manual. anyways job is still open, fortunately I will have some free time tomorrow and I will try to interview some other applicants as well.

Party Games Website Update:

Administrative Support:

• Also linked it again from text at the bottom.

• About the question (Is it safe to say that you would be able – with your faster CPU – to generate roughly double of that traffic?): I think surely I can generate at least 2xmore credits than aizha. I think that if not 6000, but a provider must earn at least 4000 credits/hour. On the other hand if a contractor earns 6000 credits/hour on one day/s and 1500 on the other day/s that is something to worry of and not justifiable, because it shows that you have the potency to earn 6000 credits/day with the same pc and same internet connection. 

• Work on one pending mail from Kathrin and made all changes to both linked page and aweber message.

Outsourcing Coaching Blog Update:

• Added the ideal-helper favicon to the outsourcing coaching blog.

• Also turned off the nav-bar
