Deepal,
You're forgetting that people hire people. Mostly, they hire people they think they can get along with. To accomplish this, you have to do more than put your resume on line. Focus on work, but write a narrative that gives people a chance to know you. That doesn't mean tell them you like walks in the rain and Neil Diamond. Just put a narrative down and your friendliness will show through.
One big clue: People hire people who understand what their problems are. So if you can name those problems very specifically, clients will think: "Hey, this person understsnds me. I want to hire them." So you have to walk in their shoes for a while. SImply say, "I can help you solve _______, ______, and ______, so you can go to the beach with your family ..." Or it might be "so your profits go up." But, that's the trick Tell them what problems you can solve and how they will benefit using a narrative style that lets them get to know you a bit.
That's how it's done.

Hello Elegbebe,
Many freelancers are having difficulty finding jobs on Upwork. Competition is high and clients have been less than eager to spend. But hopefully, that will change soon.
Your profile looks good, but I suggest removing the following from the first part of your summary:
"Email Marketing Expert | Marketing Automation Specialist | Email Copywriting Pro | Email Campaign Strategist | Conversion-focused Email Marketer | Consultant | Email Campaign Optimization Specialist|| Email marketer | Funnels | Clickfunnel | Email drip campaign"
When clients search for freelancers, only the first two sentences of your summary are shown to them. You have very little opportunity to grab their attention. You want to use that small window to show clients that you can provide services that meets their goals, and you do not want to simply list a bunch of titles.
Everything else looks pretty good.

Idongesit,
Zabrina is right; you have to clean up your act. There is inconsistent formating (sentence and paragraph breaks and inconsistent capitalization (you capitalize places and names, not words like Development and Administration.) But mostly your write-up just doesn't get around to saying much. It just seems like a manniquin dressed up to put it one way.
Let me explain: The first thing you say is you are highly skilled with a wealth of experience. That's kind of passively redundant. If you are highly skilled it follows that you have a wealth of experience, so it just sounds like your sniffing around. The sentence just lacks any real effort.
"Sustained through various roles across different organizations." That's just weak. What roles? What organizations? Again, you took the easy route. "Sustained as a project manager, supply chain liason and budget analyst at 400-plus employee manufacturing and retail concerns." Put some teeth into this. Give us some details that increase your credibility and show you can talk the talk. If your write-up remains vague and peppered full of cliches, it just isn't that convincing.
PROFILE: A highly skilled Contract Management Professional with wealth of experience in Contracts authoring Contracts Management, Coordination and Administration, developed, and sustained through various roles across different organizations. My objective is to use the knowledge, skills, and experiences that I have acquired in my previous roles to work as a Contract Analyst where I can provide support and implement effective operational strategies, processes, and systems to help achieve organizational goals. CORE SKILLS * Contract managements and administration * Strong negotiating and communication Skills * Stakeholders' relationship building and management * Project management, Process Improvement and Strategic planning

Hi Andrea,
I have signed up in Upwork for over a year but havent got time to apply until recently. However, I'm really struggling landing a client even if I have customized proposal for each job posting that I applied to.
Can you also take a look at my profile?
Thank you!

Hi Andrea and community members,
I'm a digital marketing manager with experience in SMM, SEM, SEO, PPC, and social media ads. I'm looking to work with medium and small businesses.
I'm new to Upwork and I just got my first order, which is still in progress. I was also selected for the Rising Talent batch, but I'm still not getting many leads or orders.
I haven't created a specialized profile yet. Can you please suggest which field I should focus on? I'm open to any suggestions.
I would appreciate your kind consideration.
