Featured Contributor Renante V.

[Lena E]

Meet our Featured Contributor for June, Renante V! 

What job category do you work in?
Web Development

When did you begin using Upwork?
Registered way back 2015, I think but started really looking for work this year (January)

Tell us a little about yourself and how you got started Freelancing, or running your business online?
Well, I don't know. I felt like I was wasting my time on a 9-5 job. Add the fact that you get the same salary (read: minimum wage) each month.

What do you enjoy the most/least about working online, Renante?
I can work anytime, within the comfort of my home. Although I'm in front of the PC most of the day, hehe.

What was your most successful project/contract?
I've just started here on Upwork so I'd like to think that my best contract are my in-progress contracts and that each future contract will be better

Do you have any advice for other users on Upwork?
For new users on the platform, it helps to learn how the platform works first. There's a lot of helpful link that Upwork provides. Frequenting the forums (not necessarily posting) also helps.

We want to know at least two fun or interesting things about you
I don't know. I'm boring, I guess. LOL

Anything else you want to add?

I love numbers!

Congratulations Renante!  I am very curious though---why are there two different photos of you?

They requested another photo that they can use. I obliged.

It would have been great had they use just my profile photo though (hopefully someone who can edit this post see this and makes the change).

Renante, it appears that Upwork doesn't always adhere to their own rules and regulations; for example regarding photos.  Regardless, both of your photos are nice from a photo perspective.  Your Featured one is more straight on whereas your current Profile one is more artsy. Listen to me I almost sound like I know what I'm talking about-lol!  I'm not exceptionally skilled at photography.  Perhaps we should request someone's input that is...calling on Petra or whomever else...

I'm sure Renante would appreciate an introduction without typos.

Thanks for pointing it out, Steven. I'll be sure to share this with the team.
