Tip of the Day | Set your timer.

In cases where newcomers have listed questions regarding why they are not winning work, almost uniformly the profile is weak.   Weak equals underdeveloped. developed poorly, has grammar errors, etc.

There is debate on the most beneficial length of profile content.  Mine stretches longer, some prefer shorter.  Try this.  For every 30 words, expend 30 minutes of total time on the profile write-up.   Ninety-word profile: 1-1/2 hours of developmental time. As an example.

Write the piece in MS Word so you can use the spell checker.  Get an editing package such as Grammarly/Free to help you spot grammar errors.  Find a resource who will help you write it, if your English is weak.  There are probably people on the Forum who would volunteer to help.

Thirty minutes for every 30 words.  Invest in yourself.
