I would like to earn $1000 US by the end of this month as I want to be one of the top rated on Upwork. Which job skills do you think I should search for? Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Any tips on how you reached a $1000 US would be helpful.

That's not how it works.
What skills do you actually HAVE? You've made about half of what you are planning to make in just over 2 weeks in the past year, so Good Luck with that...
You also have a JSS of 80% - so you can't be top rated until you have had a JSS of 90% or above for at least 13 out of the last 16 weeks.

- Created the strongest profile I could manage, highlighting ways that my strongest skills could provide value to clients.
- Did homework on and off the platform to see what rates and fees FLs with comparable experience & credentials were getting.
- Searched UW job posts more or less daily for several weeks, used my first 60 connects.
- Landed a small hourly contract at a rate somewhat lower than I was ultimately aiming for.
- Learned to search more effectively, used my second 60 connects more selectively, no new clients yet.
- Completed first hourly contract and client hired me on a larger, fixed-rate project that put me over $1k.
- Kept grinding away, connected with a new client in my third month who hired me for several projects. Didn't really start building momentum for another six months.

A lot of surgical interventions are computers supported nowadays, the surgeon could be in a different country, or a different continent even. Rene, you are really on to something here. What do you think, hourly or fixed price?
