Your profile is private, so I can't see what kind of work you do.
If you are having difficulty getting jobs on Upwork, it may be that you are working in a field which has less demand relative to the supply.
Successful strategies for working on this platform include offering a highly specialized skill set or area of expertise that relatively few other freelancers offer.
If you are simply doing what a million other freelancers are doing, then why should a client hire you rather than someone with more Upwork job experience?

HI Kalpana,
I reviewed your post.
Yes, It's really tough to get hire, because there are more than million of freelancers here. So why would the client hire you among of them? You need more specific, the cover letter must be very clear and don't post more than 3 proposals in a day. Also, try to post your proposal as fast as possible after posting from a client.
Hope these will help you.
Thanks

Hi Kalpana,
Getting the first job might be a bit harder but possible. I would say irrespective of skillset:
Good luck!
