Hi everyone, my name is Gio and I'm a VA with strong operational experience, digital marketing, and project management experience. I'm not sure how these forums work but figured I'd post in here since Upwork is sending me emails to do so!
I'm starting to get overflow of client work so if anyone has experience with virtual admin services, or social media marketing, content planning, or paid ads feel free to send me a message.

This is not a place to ask for a job.
If you really want to achieve something here, you must create a good profile. What you have now is nothing and will only attract the attention of scammers.
The photo must be of you, nothing else is allowed.
Go to Academia, in the links in the header, and read the links in the main post.

hello sir, just created my account. Im wondering if you have any work that I could handle as a beginner? Thank you so much
Mar 22, 2024 07:27:02 AM by Giovanni P
Hi Kristel, I don't have extra work at the moment but if you make your profile public, it will allow me to add you as a friend on upwork. That way if I do have extra work in the future I can contact you

Similarly to the situations of Shurmeen S and Kristel A, if you have any tasks related to electrical work, programming PLC HMI, data entry in Google Spreadsheets, or any other tasks, I am quick to assist with a variety of responsibilities. I am available for work, despite having a new account on Upwork, while also bringing experience from the local market

Hi Gio, nice to connect with you. I'm new to upwork, but I have around 7 years of experience in various projects - technical writing, grants, social media writing, business proposals, and news articles. I've been in the clinical research space, but I'm a creative at heart so I'm flexible. Currently in medical school. I'd love to land my first gig on upwork, so please stay in touch if there's anything you could send my way 🙂 -Crystal

Hello, I'm Jesús, a very proud Mexican, I love my country.
I am new here, I have had many, many conflicts to configure the account, unfortunately the complete procedure to have the profile 100% is quite obscure and not at all clear, but not the procedure for purchasing CONNECTS (without seeming to complain).
Anyway, I will continue trying to get my first contract.
A hug.
