I have recently joined Upwork, can someone please review my profile and provide feedback. I'll really appreciate it. Also I have two questions:
1) I have added my AWS certifications but even after a week it continues to show pending verification. How much time does it takes? Do I need to do something more to initiate verification?
2) I had requested testimonials from my previous clients. Two of them have told me that they have filled out and submitted it. But it still shows pending. Not sure whats going on there as well.
Any help that you can provide is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Saket

Please provide any feedback and recommendations! I am new, and have landed a couple small jobs but my success rate is low thus far (2 contracts from 26 proposals).

Hi Tara, Your profile reads well. The overview sections under the general profile and specialized profile are the same. Try to use that space effectively i.e. tailor the overview for task. I'd encourage you to get a professional headshot. Additionally, add a portfolio of your prior assignments. It doesn't have to be from Upwork.
Good luck, I am sure you will land several projects on this platform.

I would advise you to set up and optimize your profile first, read some Upwork articles regarding optimizing your profile.
Then apply for jobs by submitting a proposal via the job post section. After that be ready for an interview invite from the client and answer their questions via text or call or video call, whichever you two decide.
If you are offered the job you then start working on that job and update the client, also you can take more jobs if you can handle and have the time to complete then go ahead but don't miss the deadlines.
Thanks

Hello,
I have a new profile on upwork. I have skills in SEO & Digital marketing. Kindly guide me how i get clients. If I use a paid profile then do I get any advantage?
Oct 27, 2020 09:35:31 PM by Fay A
Just optimize your profile read some articles on profile optimization or watch some youtube video or search other freelancers who do the same project as you SEO and see how they structured their profile page. After that apply for jobs related to your SEO project and be ready for interviews.
About the paid plan it has some advantages and I am not sure but you can get jobs with the free plan, however, if you want to apply for more jobs then you need more connections. You can buy connects to apply for jobs or can check out the paid plan which offers some more advantages. When you get a few jobs then you can always upgrade to paid plans. Hope this helps
Thanks

Thank you so much. 🙂

Heidi, you have a well written profile. Consider adding a short introduction video and testimonials Also, consider developing two separate profiles - general and specialized profile.
Good luck, I think you will get several projects on this platform.
Nov 2, 2020 06:35:23 AM by Heidi M
Aditi,
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, and for your helpful feedback. I am considering what would make a compelling intro video, and will read about specialized profiles!
Take care,

This would be a great help. Please do share some feedback on my new profile. Donn
Nov 2, 2020 06:44:01 PM by Anonymous-User A
Donn, excellent start. 1) You have two 'overview sections'- All work and specialized profile - that are similar. Consider having separate text for each of these sections. 2) Under skills list, upto 10 words are usually added. Fewer words means fewer matches. Consider adding more keywords. 3) Consider adding some testimonials from your past clients/employers.
Good luck, you will get many clients soon!!
