What are the best practices for presenting work experience on Upwork to make it appealing to clients?

Hi there Shahriyar,

I hope you are doing great. Showing your past work is a great way to get clients. When creating your work history always make sure to include your best work only. Only the "Best" no need to include all of it A-Z. When you are starting, 3 portfolio pieces are enough. Make sure your work is high quality, presentable, and related to the field you specialize in. The thumbnails should also look good. Clearly describe what your position was, how you fixed their problems etc.

Additionally make sure that your work is digestible, by that I mean it shouldn't be too long. Clients don't have the whole day to see your work history or your profile in general so keep that in mind when working on your profile.

Your description is too small. The kind of work you do, writing. It should clearly be reflected in your words. so make your description longer, more interesting, engaging, and especially targeted to the clients like how you can solve their problems, etc. 

Also, your rate is way too low, I think you should consider raising it.

Gotta appreciate the good things. Your profile image looks amazing and classy.

That was it for my review of your profile, consider navigating to the link given below.

It will teach you pretty much everything you need to know as a freelancer A-Z.

I hope that helps!

Best,

Sohail

Using the Academy and the Upwork resources is what you need to do. Your incomplete profile is confusing. You say you are a professional Turkish writer in your skills, but then you talk about being a linguistics specialist and a translator in five languages, and then, you have nothing in your skills except for logos. Translating means you need more than conversational levels of skills. How do you translate when you have "partly" skills? In addition, you have errors in your very brief profile and no portfolio.

If you want to freelance, you have to read and follow the rules, decide what genuine, marketable skills you have, and create a good profile. Don't bother applying to jobs until you make all the corrections. With your current profile, you won't find real clients, but you will get a lot of attention from the scammers. It's up to you if you are successful or scammed.
