How to get hire as Freelancer

Hello Comrade, I got my profile set up and got 100%, have applied for a couple of jobs here but still, my profile seems not working. Any help?

For one thing, don't call anyone "comrade". Use your real name in your profile (unless you have official ID that says your name is "Aftech Network Engineering"?). Replace your profile photo with one that makes you look more approachable. Also, rewrite your profile overview in your own words, otherwise clients will notice that your written English doesn't match the level in your overview. Go through the learning paths to get more information: https://community.upwork.com/t5/New-To-Upwork-102/Crafting-Your-Profile-Title-amp-Overview/ta-p/1084...

 

I would recommend turning off your "Available Now" badge as well. I don't think that it helps new freelancers, so you're wasting your money.

Hey Aftech, please modify your Summary into 3 or 4 short paragraphs and add your Portfolio before applying to Jobs. Have a great day!

Hey William, thank you for your advice. Could you please check my own profile as well?
