Cannot grab the first job yet

Hi, I cannot find the project yet, I have registered my account since about 2 months, Moreover, I have passed the Upwork Readiness test with 5 points and I still couldn't get Rising Talent badge.

Any suggestion, please!

Thanks!

Fatima:

Unfortunately, there is nothing special about your profile.

You are offering the same skill set that tens of thousands of other Upwork freelancers offer, without distinction. Yet you have no Upwork history. So there is really no reason for a client to hire you.

 

My advice to you if you want to earn money here is to distinguish yourself. Be different from other other freelancers. Specialize. Learn and present your expertise relative to in-demand skills and technologies.
