Hi Fabian,

 

Good start, but you will likely have to provide more details to convince clients to hire you.

 

Here are the changes I would make to your profile:

 

Title: You provide the names of several systems and platforms, but clients won't know how you support them. I recommend a simpler title like: Systems Engineer or Cloud Systems Engineer or Cloud Systems Engineer | VMware, Linux, Tomcat, Networks, Firewalls, WAF

 

Overview/Summary: Not enough information here. You mention experience and skills, but clients need to understand how you can help them and why they should hire you. For example:

 

  • How much experience (in years) do you have? (e.g., "Systems Engineer with ______ years of experience in coordination and management of..")
  • Tell clients how you will communicate and gather feedback to ensure the final deliverables meet their needs.
  • Mention that you stay informed of the latest developments, trends, and emerging technologies in cloud computing, virtualization, and network modernization.
  • Also mention your time management and organizational skills, and your availability.
  • Can you highlight any cloud migration, development, or managment projects you have worked on and your accomplishments?
  • Talk about your ability to meet business challenges and adapt to changing or new requirements if necessary.


Clients looking for talented systems engineers will find plenty of them on Upwork. The question is, do they have enough good reasons to choose you? The information you provide can help clients better understand why they should hire you and how it will benefit them.

 

Portfolio: Add a portfolio to show samples of previous work or to demonstrate your skills. 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.

 

You may want to add one or two Specialized Profiles that focus on specific services or completely unrelated services. Having a specialized profile can help increase a freelancer's searchability.

 

Good luck!

Poor JSS is a big problem but I don't know how to fix it. I don't have poor reviews. 

 

Best,
