It's my first time posting on this forum!
After using Upwork for a few months, things are starting to pick some steam.
I'm going to make money for this week.
Still, I'm not too thrilled with how few of my proposals result in an invitation to an interview.
Please provide me with a brief assessment of my profile.
What are your preferences?
Do you not have any suggestions?
What would you have changed?
I would be grateful for any feedback!
Thanks
TR Roy

Hello Trisma Rani,
I have a few suggestions that should help improve your profile:
Photo: The first thing you should do is change your profile photo. The picture in your photo should be a close-up image of your head and shoulders that clearly shows your face. Read through Upwork's best practices for How to Choose A Good Profile Picture.
Portfolio: As a graphic designer, you absolutely must have a portfolio. Even if you have an offsite portfolio, you need to create and add graphic designs to your Upwork portfolio. The portfolio is a chance to make a positive first impression on potential clients. If you don’t have relevant examples to add to your portfolio, you can create items that demonstrate your skills.
Employment History: Add short job descriptions to each job in your employment history. A job description is especially important when the job is highly relevant to the services you provide on Upwork. Upwork uses keywords in job titles and descriptions to match you with relevant jobs.
Your summary sounds fine, and your project catalog and skills list look good.
Good luck!
