*Edited: Viewed Proposals

[alex-krieckhaus]

Today I discovered the "proposals" report (under "My Stats" in the "Find Work" menu) and was mortified to see (by selecting "proposals" above the graph at the bottom) that 1 of the 11 proposals I sent in the past few weeks was... viewed. Viewed! 90% of the proposals -- that I spent a lot of time writing -- were never even viewed. I am not getting more work because my proposals aren't good enough but because they are not even being looked at...

Someone here wrote that only 1 percent gets jobs. It makes sense. So you're great with 10 percents! 👍

1/11 is a little below 10%, but very close, don't give up! 😁

Hi Alex,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulties landing a job. Submitting proposals doesn't always guarantee that you will get hired or get a chance to be interviewed, but you shouldn't give up on sending proposals to potential clients. 

I've pulled a few resources that may be helpful to you. Check out these articles to help you create a profile that stands out and improve your profile title and overview. For some great tips on writing proposals that win jobs, check out this article.
