Clara,
OK, you've got some good stuff here and things that need to be corrected. Overall, great start. But we can help you fine-tune this so your chances of getting work will go up.
And, you're from Granada, which is pretty cool.
About your profile:
First, your job title is Clara Rudio / Virtual Assistant Specializing in Data Analysis and Admi
One: Very quickly remove yoiur name from your working title. It doesn't belong there; it is unwise to put your last name on a profile page; and the name Clara R is already on your profile page, so you are wasting time saying it again. Clients, furthermore, see 200 characters in searches and you've wasted 11 characters with your name. (Nobody is going to hire you because your name is Clara.)
Two: A working title should be pithy -- three or four words at the most. Cut out the words "Specializing In," and you lose nothing. Try Virtual Assistant, Data Anaylist. That's four words and covers everything you covered using 10 words.
Next ... delete the second paragraph entirely. It povides no new information. Rhetorical questions are a waste of time by definition and clients are looking for hard information, not little lectures on how what you do is important.
Finally, the last of your profile is made up of this list:
Why choose me? 🤝 Proactivity Above All: I know that your top priority is to solve problems quickly. I don’t just complete tasks—I propose solutions before problems arise, saving you time and headaches. :bar_chart: Tangible Results: My approach is 100% results-oriented. Whether optimizing your data for strategic decisions or eliminating administrative clutter, my goal is to make your life easier and your business more efficient. :hourglass_not_done: Free Up Your Time: Let me take care of the time-consuming tasks so you can focus on what truly moves the needle for your business.
Put that higher in your profile, but CHANGE IT from a list to a narratvie. It should read "I am a proactive problem-solver, which can save you time and headaches. My goal is focused on positive results that will make your life easier and your business more efficient."
Why? FIrst -- lists are not as effective as a narrative. Lists also make you look lazy and people ignore them. Lists give the client no information about you as a person, while your story-telling style is more generous in that department.
You already have another list. That should go at the bottom, while your current final list should be turned into a narrative and placed higher. You are sometimes wordy, so I suggest you consider the two sentences I offered to you.
Good luck. You have energy and a nice approach. Just try tightening, because your talents should be recognized and those steps are proven to work at least to some degree.
Granada -- that is cool.
