A Ray of Light in a Dark LifeðŸŒ
Dear Reader,
After a hiatus in hiring, we have begun speaking with applicants again, and what a joy it has been.
One applicant said something that touched me deeply:
“This interview with Odetta is like a ray of light in a dark life. I’ve seen first-hand the impact Odetta has had on my sister-in-laws in terms of empowerment and financial independence; they are transformed. I’ve been waiting a long time for an opportunity to contribute like this.”
This applicant, her sister-in-laws, and their entire family have suffered through the most unimaginable hardship. But the Odettian community is able to turn grief into empowerment, and we see it every single day.
May the mission of empowerment spread,
Katharine
Use Case Spotlight: Automation of Manual Excel Work
A client was using Microsoft Excel to analyze protein files, but in a tedious, hands-on way. His background is in biochemistry, and he asked us to automate his manual processes. So we built a script that streamlined and automated his work in Excel. Although this project required bioinformatics skills (the files were protein files), Odettians worked hard and accomplished the job.
Client Testimonial
“I wanted to quickly reach out to wish you and your amazing team a Happy International Women’s Day! On a professional note, your team epitomizes the true movement and meaning of this day. On a personal note, I am honored to partner with you and this fantastic vision you’ve built into a reality. I reference you quite often when talking to my daughters”
Odettian Testimonial
“Odetta has changed my life beyond my expectations. There was a time, after my child was born, I felt I would never be able to go to work and be financially independent and there came Odetta to the rescue. I am able to set a good example for my child as well. The two years old calls my laptop Mama’s office and it fills my heart with gratitude and pleasure. He is learning to respect the hard work that goes into making a house. Along with it, I have also learned new skills and grown professionally due to amazing projects like Quora, Athena, and many more. Thank you Odetta for adding so much value to my life and to the lives of many more women around the world.💞💞”
