Hi Faraz, I would love if you can help with some tips.

Overall, apart from the emojis, I think it's not bad.
The only thing I would tell you is to delete the first line in both profiles, it's a repetition of the title and you're wasting the first two lines. These are the only thing the client sees without opening your profile, so they are important.

Hi Maria 

Good day

Plz can you be my mentor or someone to teach the everything I need to know?

 

Basically,I will be honest with you that I know absolutely nothing about this business but with the help from someone like you? I belief I can do more.

 

Also,I am a quick learner

So I will pick you really fast,that's for sure.

 

As a way to say thank you 

I will not mind sharing 40% of my first deal with you ma'am,plz๐Ÿ™.

Hi Earnest,

To make your profile more appealing to potential clients and businesses, we suggest a few key changes:

  1. Skills Section: Consider listing your skill sets in bullet points in the first paragraph for easier readability.
  2. Portfolio: Add portfolio items to showcase your previous work.
  3. Experience and Certifications: Include any relevant experience, skills, certifications, and licenses you have to highlight your qualifications.

@Maria T, could you please assist Earnest further with these enhancements?

Regards,

Faraz

Maria T can you further guide Earnest S as your experience.

Dear Paul,

 

Welcome to the platform! It's a great place for beginners. I reviewed your profile and found it attractive, with some key areas of interest. Please check the private comments I have shared for some improvement as suggested.

 

Best regards,

Please can you check on my profile to see if it is okay.

thank you

hi Faraz,

 

Thank you so much for your kind offer to help! I would greatly appreciate any guidance or tips you can provide to help me secure my first job on Upwork. Your support means a lot to me.

I'll tell you the same thing as Paul, use the first two lines to get the customer's attention. It's the only thing they see without opening the profile.
Now they would only see "4+ years of Experience  / 100% customer satisfaction" and little else.

Faraz, if you are offering help you should give it, not just give a positive vote.

hi, am new here. help would be great...(-;

In addition to what I have said to the others, I think you talk too much about yourself and little about what you can do for your clients.

Dear Jasel E,

 

To make your profile more attractive to potential clients, consider adding a portfolio showcasing your work, along with certifications and snapshots of your previous experiences.

 

Best regards,

I am wondering if his suggestions would help him too.

Dear Maria,

 

Thank you for your valuable suggestions and insights. I apologize for my delayed response; I was unavailable due to the recent passing of my brother-in-law.

 

I'm sorry.

Thanks Maria T:

I am sorry for your loss, Faraz.

 

But honestly, how can you plan to help people by reviewing their profiles, when just a few days ago you repeatedly asked for your own profile to be reviewed?

 

I suppose you wanted opinions on your profile because you couldn't get a job. If that's the case, how can you help other freelancers to get clients, if you are not able to find them yourself?

 

Please be sensitive and do not create false expectations.

Thanks Elisa for well wishes:

I understand where you're coming from. Yes, I did ask for feedback on my profile a few days ago, and it made a huge difference. Thanks to the advice from some really experienced freelancers, I've landed some great projects and improved my earnings on this platform and others.

 

Now, I want to help others in the same way. I believe that success on any platform isn't just about individual effort; it's about working together and supporting each other. By sharing what I've learned and forming a strong team, I hope to help others find the same success I did.

Yes, DearFarazwant help for first job and Project quickly

You're talking about yourself, not what you can do for clients. Make the most of the first two lines, it's what clients see without opening your profile.
Your work experience already has a place in the profile, there's no need to mention everything in the presentation.

Dear Si N (Thanks):

You have a wealth of experience in translation, and with a few improvements, your profile can attract even more clients. Here are some suggestions:

  1. First Paragraph in Bullet Points: Highlight your key skills and expertise in a concise, easy-to-read format.
  2. Add a Portfolio: Showcase your previous work to demonstrate your capabilities.
  3. Skill Sets: List your specific skills to enhance your profile.
  4. Visual Enhancements: Use figures and snapshots to make your profile visually appealing and highlight your translation abilities.

These adjustments can make your profile stand out and appeal to potential clients.

Best regards,

Faraz, you have created a thread to offer help.
Why?
I don't need you to give me upvotes. What I have done must be done by you. If you are not going to help, delete the thread.

Dear Maria,

 

Thank you for your valuable suggestions and insights. I apologize for my delayed response; I was unavailable due to the recent passing of my brother-in-law.

Hi Maria! New Here. Would love to get some feedback on my profile. You are doing great work ๐Ÿ’

Yes please sir, I really appreciate your help.

Dear Wilma:

You have a nice profile, but a few changes can increase your chances of landing your first job. Here are my suggestions:

  • Simplify your first paragraph into short, comprehensive points.
  • Add more portfolio items to showcase your work.
  • Include additional professional certifications related to your skills.

Best of luck, and keep your profile updated

Regards.
