Is my profile any good?

Hello,

I am new to Upwork and I'm finding it almost impossible to get any work. Is my profiles any good as I've applied to many jobs and I'm no really getting anywhere. Any help would be fully appcreiated.

Thanks

Rik

Rik,

Welcome to Upwork!

Your Upwork profile is fine.

Since you are new to Upwork, getting your first job can be a challenge. Many clients look for successful work history and prefer to award jobs to freelancers with proven job success. This is sort of a "catch-22" situation where an escape seems impossible because it involves a dependent condition (i.e., "clients want freelancers that show Upwork experience, but will not offer jobs to freelancers with no Upwork experience, so freelancers cannot show Upwork experience.”)

The only thing you can do is keep applying to jobs for which you are qualified; you will eventually be rewarded!
