whereas dic.get with default value keep returning you the default value without touching your dict.
If anybody looking to get into Odesk, this is my advice on how to get over the chicken and egg problem(You are trying to build your work history while clients looking for your work history).
Find projects that can be partially or even fully prototyped and send the live link in the bidding. If the project is genuine most clients will bite. If they don't , write off your effort as marketing expense!
Also never bid for a project if you think you cannot get a 5 star rating after the delivery.
You can see my odesk profile below , all my ratings are 5 star. No surprise!
