It usually takes 1-2 weeks, sometimes longer. Make sure your profile, portfolio and cover letters are top notch and you'll increase your changes. Don't give up - it'll happen!

Hi Jason,
Hope you are doing well.
Does it take 1-2 weeks to get the first job?
I think it is little long.
Could you please explain more about how to get the first job sooner?
Thank you

Hi Jacqueline,
You may also make sure your profile title and the first couple of lines of your profile overview clearly describe what services you offer and make you stand out among other freelancers.
Submitting proposals doesn't always guarantee that you will get hired or a chance to be interviewed, but you shouldn't give up on sending proposals to potential clients. When you apply for jobs, make sure your proposal is well written and that you're absolutely qualified and certain of your ability to complete the job you're applying for.
