Hi Fateh,
Getting your first job can be dauting but don't give up.
I'd suggest you pare down the content of your profile desription to focus on the core skills and services you offer. You could also use bullet points to list your services that way it's easy to scan at a glance.
Also, to be taken seriously and attract good clients, I'd also suggest you increase your hourly rate. You can check out other freelancers in your category for rate ideas.
All the best!
