Hi,
I have not been able to land any new job in the last 1 year. Tried a lot. Setting up profile, portfolio, sending proposal. Every day I apply for at least 3 jobs. But somehow they are not viewed. Client and half no response. No invitation or direct message. Nothing comes out of the message. After being hired for 1 job last month, the client declined the offer again. Since then, the job score has remained the same from 100 to 85. I don't know what to do. Please help Me.
This is my profile

Thanks

Hi Al-Amin,
Unfortunately, you are experiencing the same issues thousands of freelancers are facing. Competition remains high in many skill areas, and platform adjustments have affected many freelancers. Even Expert-Vetted, Top-Rated Plus, and Top-Rated freelancers are having the same problems getting proposal views, invitations, and hires.
I looked through your profile and it looks fine. I think you can optimize the first part of your overview/summary by removing the following:
"I strongly encourage you to invest a moment to explore my profile. "
"I'm Al-Amin"
When clients search for freelancers, only the first 200-225 characters of your summary are shown. This means you have very little space (approximately two short sentences) to get their attention. You want clients to see their goals (your services and results) in this small space. You are wasting space with your name and the request to view your profile.
Good luck!
