With over 2 years of customer service experience, I recently joined this platform, convinced that my skills would secure me a job in no time. But alas, it's been a challenging journey. Despite submitting 80 proposals to clients, not a single one has been accepted. I've polished my profile to perfection, yet I still can't seem to land a job. Can you offer any suggestions on how I can secure my first gig?

Hi,
I dont know how to say this, but as a freelancer, I feel that Upwork was far better when it was Odesk. There were responsive jobs and landing your first gig was never a problem. Since it has taken over by Upwork, it has become useless. I have been applying to jobs for the past few weeks now and none of them is responsive. All my connects are wasted and they are not opening up my ' Available Now' badge since I have not been able to earn yet. This is patehtic. If Upwork is luring us to keep buying more connects that is something else. There has to be a timeline for the employers to hire someone and if thy dont, our connects should be redeemed. So that we can use them to apply to more jobs. How can a newbee get his first job when they dont have any rating or reviews. Kindly revise this pathetic system of yours so that we can work properly. thanks
