Newbie in upwork

Hi!👋 Am new to upwork and I have being around for about a month but I have not yet received any requests. I am qualified and just need that one customer who would rank my work and get me started. Its really difficult getting a job as a newbie. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it🙂

Hey Derrick,

 

Job title:  If your presentation design work is in MS Word, then you should be changing your job title to - Microsoft Word Expert, as you will be found by clients using keyword search.  Have your title as short as possible - Microsoft Word Expert/Transcriptionist.

 

Profile: You will have to elaborate more on your current expertise and skills in your profile and remove the merits and demerits of a good presentation.

 

Work samples: Include screenshots of your past projects in your profile under the portfolio section and also attach them while sending proposals.

 

Transcription: Try concentrating on transcription jobs first if you have the skills to deliver quality work as there are many transcription jobs available.

 

Proposals: Have you started sending proposals to get jobs as your query says not received any requests (how many proposals have you sent so far?)

 

Cheers,

Victor
