Nahida,

I think your profile looks fine, but you should 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. Read through Upwork's best practices for How to Choose A Good Profile Picture.

Hi Andualem Worku,

You should remove the first line in your overview/summary: "(:1st_place_medal:) TOP RATED PLUS GRAPHIC DESIGNER (:1st_place_medal:)" since Upwork does not have you listed as a Top-Rated Plus member.

Also, I recommend capitalizing the first letter of skill areas in your title--this will help it stand out: Graphic Design | Branding | Logo | PowerPoint | Business Cards

Add skill categories to each item in your portfolio. The skill categories act as keywords and help match you with relevant jobs.

Add a short job description to your job at J.Film Zone in your employment history. This is especially important when a job is highly relevant to the services you provide on Upwork.

Hello Everyone,

Please have a look at my profile and give me the feedback and any suggestions need for improvement.

Hello Areej,

I think your profile looks good, but you should add more items to your portfolio. The portfolio is a chance to make a positive first impression on potential clients and clients will expect more samples from a virtual assistant who is also a content creator.

Your skills, project catalog, and employment history look good.

Hi,

Your profile have to be improved more to get it more attractive. For example Skills, Certifications  should be added to your profile.

Ammar,

I recommend removing the first sentence in your overview/summary: "Focused on delivering results, not excuses. :briefcase: #ResultsMatter" Why? Because only the first two sentences of your summary are shown to clients when they search for freelancers. This means you have very little space to grab their attention, and your first sentence doesn't provide much value to clients. You want clients to see words that show them you can help them meet their specific goals.

Add a portfolio to show samples of your work. The portfolio is a chance to make a positive first impression on potential clients. If you don’t have relevant examples to add to your portfolio, you can create items that demonstrate your skills.

Add short job descriptions to each job in your employment history. This is especially important when the jobs are highly relevant to the services you provide on Upwork.

All of these suggested changes will help your profile stand out a little better when clients search for freelancers with your skills.

Raju,

You need to 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. Read through Upwork's best practices for How to Choose A Good Profile Picture.

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:

Hello Sena,

Very nice profile.

Your summary is informative and your Behance and Upwork portfolio look great.

The only suggestion I have is to add short job descriptions to each job in your employment history. This is especially important when the jobs are highly relevant to the services you provide on Upwork.

Everything else in your profile looks good. I do not see any problems or issues that would prevent a client from hiring you.

Good luck!

Hi Guys,

I'm new here and new to freelancing, I've no real idea of how to go about this.  I've not quite finished my profile set up yet, but if someone could have a look and let me know if I'm on the right track, or not, and if not  how to fix it, I'd be super grateful.  

Thanks so much for your time.

All best.

Talha,

As stated in my previous review in August, I suggest removing the first line in your summary.

Also, add short job descriptions to each job in your employment history. This is especially important when the jobs are highly relevant to the services you provide on Upwork.

[8f7f5256]
