Hi Clark, Can you take a look at my profile and provide? What can i do to improve it?

[#3]

I'm new here, I have a lot to understand and I'm learning

Akulu,

You should find someone who speaks and writes fluently in English to help you. Then look at other Upwork profiles, seeking out ones with great track records. Review them and try to learn from them. Lastly "Software" is not a service. Freelance workers are generally those who provide a service. You have to consider what service you can offer people that works well over the Internet.

Hello Upwork community, I am new to the platform. I am kindly asking you

Nsakanya,

Your profile needs to be setup like a freelancer--not an employee looking for a job. As a freelancer, you are running a business that provides services to other businesses (clients). Your overview/summary must tell clients about the services you provide and how you can help meet their needs.

Make sure your profile is 100% complete before applying to jobs. The best way to complete your profile is to go through the following Academy Courses and Learning Paths:

• Creating Your Profile
• Making Your Profile Title and Overview/Summary
• Building Your Portfolio
• Finding Work
• Submitting Proposals

Adil,

If you want to work as a writer, your profile should be letter-perfect. It has some very noticeable mistakes in it. If you're not technically accurate, find an editor who speaks and writes in English and have them look over your work before you post it.

Secondly, you should be more assertive. Don't talk about things other people can't do or don't want to do ... talk about services that you offer in a positive manner.

Hi Huram,

Remove the first two lines in your overview/summary since they provide no value to clients:

Make sure your profile is 100% complete before applying to jobs. You still need to fill in education, employment history, and you need to update your skills list with more skill categories related to marketing automation.

Why does your job title say "Pharmacist" when you are looking for work as a web developer? 

[#14]

Hi Jennifer,

I looked through each section of your profile and I think it's great.  Your overview/summary is well-written, your skills are relevant and your portfolio is great.

The other areas of your profile look good too, and I do not see any problems or issues that would prevent a client from hiring you.

[#18]

Hi, 

I've just joined unwork and would be grateful if anyone had any feedback or tips about my profile. 

Thank you!

Hi Menucha,

The first thing I noticed about your profile is your title and overview/summary. Your title and summary should be related and tell a story about the services you provide. For example, if you are providing administrative assistance services on Upwork, you title should be something like: Administrative Assistant. Then, your summary should talk about your experience providing administrative assistance, the administrative assistance tasks you can complete, and how that helps clients.

Right now, your title "Early years practitioner / psychology student"  is unrelated to your summary, which talks about personal attributes.

Here is my sugesstion:

1) Change your title to a skill area or occupation: Administrative Assistant, Nurse Practitioner, Virtual Assistant, etc.

2) Remove this: "Menucha Bernstein Nursery Practitioner" and rewrite your summary in a way that tells prospective clients what a Administrative Assistant, Nurse Practitioner, Virtual Assistant, etc. can do and how you will help meet their needs. Then, remove all of the "personal attributes."

3) Update your skills list to include skills related to your title and summary.

Since you are new to Upwork, make sure your profile is 100% complete before applying to jobs. The best way to complete your profile is to go through the following Academy Courses and Learning Paths:

I'm looking for advice, I'm not getting any responses to my proposals. Thank you in advance.

[#23]

Hello, Emil.

As a client on Upwork, I like to see proposals that are:

• Short and concise, but not generic or vague
• Specific and relevant to my job description and goals
• Demonstrating the freelancer’s expertise and experience in the field
• Highlighting the freelancer’s unique value proposition and differentiation
• Showing enthusiasm and interest in my project and vision
• Providing a realistic timeline and budget for the work
• Asking insightful questions or suggesting ideas to improve the outcome
• Including a call to action or an invitation to chat further

That’s what makes me want to hire a freelancer on Upwork.

I hope this helps you craft better proposals and win more jobs.

Hi Maryam,

The first thing you should do is change your profile photo. The picture in your photo should be a close-up image of your head and shoulders that clearly shows your face; not a photo of children, babies, or any other person.
