Hi everyone,
I just joined Upwork and I'm looking for an experienced Upworker to review my profile and tell me what I need to improve on/ change. Constructive feedback is very welcome. Thank you for your time!

Hi Tomiwa,
Welcome to Upwork.
Your profile makes a good start. Your overview/summary does a good job in mentioning your skills, but there are two important things missing: 1) more details about your experience as an operations professional; and 2) how you can help clients. Clients come to Upwork with specific needs and they look for freelancers who can meet those needs, and get results.
One way to make your summary more client-focused is to change your experience/skill into services. For example:
Experienced and results-driven operations professional specializing in process optimization, stakeholder collaboration, and program analytics. I help businesses and organizations streamline and optimize business operations by managing program calendars, enhancing user experiences, and driving client satisfaction. |
You can modify this as you see fit, but the idea is to make your summary more client-focused. Clients need to know how your services will benefit them. In other words, when you say things like: "Expertise in Creative and Technical Writing, Data Analysis, Event Coordination, and Project Management," tell them why it matters: (...technical writing that will help improve X | ...data analysis that enhances Y | ...event coordination that ensures all aspects of your business events are Z)
Your portfolio, skills, certifications, and employment history look good.
You may want to add a Specialized Profile that focuses on specific operations services or completely unrelated services like e-book writing. Having a specialized profile can help increase a freelancer's searchability.
You should also consider adding a project catalog. The project catalog allows you to setup a pre-packaged service that clients can buy without you sending a proposal. Due to higher than usual requests for project catalogs, reviews and approvals are taking a minimum of 10 business days. Read Get Started With Project Catalog for more information.
Good luck!
