Dedicated Thread: Upwork profile reviews and tips on getting hired

Welcome to the Designers & Creatives Upwork group!

As a new member, requesting tips on finding work or requesting a profile review is a good start, but as the group has grown rapidly (which is great news) these topics might get lost in the feed of similar topics by members. To ensure you get noticed or find the right advice without having to start a new topic, please use this dedicated topic thread to request an Upwork profile review or advice on getting hired. Group members are encouraged to offer advice or review profiles in this thread and do the same in return for other members.

 

Rules

 

  • External links are not allowed (for eg. personal websites, Behance, Dribbble…)
  • Linking to your Upwork profile is allowed
  • Please adhere to the Community Group Guidelines

Also, be sure to take advantage of existing resources

 

 

I trust that you’ll find this group welcoming and this thread helpful!

Hi Amos,

 

I see that you're a virtual assistant. This thread is for designers and creatives working in multimedia.

 

However, do have a look through the Upwork Academy for tips. A link is included in the original post.

Hey Amos, please get the paragraph spacing in place and use all 15 Skills.

Hi William, I'm new to Upwork and applied for many jobs but didn't succeed in getting the job. Can you please review my profile and provide feedback on the areas of improvement.

Hi Sijal,

 

Please focus on two keywords in the Title, Summary, and Skills (use all Skills). Too many different keywords and especially in the Title and Summary can confuse the Upwork algo. Thanks!

Hi Abiodun,

 

I’m not sure I can offer much advice for a developer as this thread is for designers and creatives working in multimedia. Although, it’s a good start!



Hey Abiodun, please develop your Summary and use all 15 Skills.

Hi Cecilia,

 

Your profile looks great!

Also, good portfolio samples.

One suggestion I have would be to consider creating separate profiles for your talents “Graphic Designer | Content Creator | Photographer”.

Hey Cecilia, great start. Please develop your Summary more.

Hi Raymond,

 

I’ve reviewed your upwork profile, some tips…

  • As a graphic designer, you need a portfolio so you’ll need to upload work samples
  • Your bio seems fine but might need some better formatting
  • If you have certificates, you can list these manually

Hey Raymond, please complete your profile. You can view others to get the idea.

You can send me your profile for review and I will feedback you how to improve it? 

Hi Abdul,

Overall it's pretty good! I would suggest spending time proof-reading and improving your profile overviews. You can use a tool like Grammarly to help with English grammar and spelling.

Kindly, I would appreciate a review on my profile. Am an entrantre without prior experience. Regards

Well done on achieving your rising talent badge.

 

I would focus on improving the grammar for each profile. 

Also, your name in the overview does not correspond to your profile name?

Well done on achieving your rising talent badge Feranmi.

Good start, I would suggest adding more portfolio pieces.

Hi Feranmi,

welcome to Upwork! Your profile is really good! Well done! I'd suggest removing the duplicate content on your profile description. Other than that, it looks amazing. You can add a video to introduce yourself as well. You can find more information about adding a video to your profile and more enhancements here: https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016144974-Enhance-Your-Profile

 

Good luck on getting your first client soon!
