Not getting jobs

[zaheertaj]

Hello, Upwork I'm having difficulties in finding work. Please provide recommendations and suggestions. I've been submitting proposals for a long time, but nobody has responded one person responded "hi" but then no information was received from a recruiter. Instead, the majority of the proposals have been closed.

I would be thankful for your support.

Regards,

Thanks, Syed Zeeshan,

I am looking for jobs in VA, typing or marketing, and online transcription.

These are among the most targeted categories from scammers. The closed proposals you mentioned probably were scams too.

Keep on trying and be patient, but also remember there are countless freelancers on Upwork offering the same services, while the number of legitimate jobs is limited.

If you have a low percentage of job success it will be difficult to find good jobs per hour, only fixed price projects are the ones that you would have more probability
