Hello! I would like some feedback on my profile. Thank you!

[#3]

Hello great community! Might I ask some help and feedback for my profile?
I am new to the website and still don't understand everything, but was able to get a job and get a review from it, but most of the time I don't get any answers from my proposals.

Thanks in advance!

[#4]

Sergio, your profile is not public. I am happy to review it if you set it up as public or provide a link.

Hi! I am new in Upwork, I would greatly appreciate if someone will review my profile so I know what I need to improve on. Many thanks!!

[#6]

Angelica, your profile reads well. One can write their profile either in first person ("I offer XXX services") or third person ("Angelica offers XXX services"). Either one option is fine but stay consistent. At present your specialized profile is third person while "all work" is written using first person. 

You already are a rising talent. Kudos to you.

Hello!

I'm Erekle, SEO Expert with 2+ years of EXP. in Local and International SEO.

I know English well, which helps me to send a proposal written at a high level to potential clients.
I try to be detail-oriented, to respond to all their requests, of course I send statements that I know I will be able to handle successfully.
The interest, however, is still not great.
I have done one project so far, I wonder what advice you would give me, maybe I have something to change in my profile that will greatly increase my views and interests of employees?
Thanks for your attention!

Regards

Erekle

Hello Erekle,
I'm writing you because I just saw your request and looked at your profile.
I personally would contact you to collaborate together should I need it. Your profile is complete, professional profile photo, description straight to the point, certifications and  professional exp are complete and precise. You have also inserted a video presentation...so I think that this is just perfect. The only suspicion that can come to me personally is: are you applying for some position or are you just waiting for invitations? Do you have an example of an application message to understand if the problem may be in your proposals?
Please be aware that I am a freelancer too and this is only an advice, not a professional feedback.

Hello Marco, Thanks for the feedback.

I'll be glad if we collaborate. 

My proposals are superb, I always try to send proposals which are most relevant to the job, I try my proposal to be adapted to the job and answer all the questions that are written on a job description...

It's really strange, sometimes I'm consulting people how to write catchy proposals, and it works, but as for me it's really bizarre, because there are just 1 interview from 10 jobs.

Aditi, thanks for your help!
It is public for upwork logged users. You should be able to see it with your upwork account.

[#11]

Sergio, I have logged in and still can't see it. 🙂 I see two options at this point. You can reach out to Upwork rep to see why your profile cannot be seen. Or you can give a link to your profile here for review. 

[#12]

I see, tell me if this works https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~016b8c66228f826b16

If it doesn't, I will have to reach support 😞

[#13]

Sergio, your profile reads well. Consider changing your availability to less than or more than 30 hours. This will give your potential clients an idea of available hours. Next, consider making a short (1 min) introductory video. Lastly, change specialize profile or all work. At present, the overview section in both profiles reads exactly the same and yet the hourly rates are different. 

Hope this helps. Good luck!!

Hi Toor, a profile shouldn't just be a description of what you do, and yours mostly just reiterates what is in your title. You need to describe what you do that's unique, how you work with the client, and what you will provide that will help the client achieve what they want. You need to put yourself in the client's shoes and think about what they need to hear to hire you. You also need to work on the writing in your profile, as it's poorly written in English, so perhaps you can have someone who has more English proficiency help you clean it up. 

If you are trying to be a sports content writer, then you need to have a portfolio that shows some of your work. If you have previous clients or employers you can get testimonials to help lend credibility to your profile as well.

Thank you.

Hi, I am struggling to land my first gig. I believe I am excellent at writing. I have a few happy clients outside of this platform. I just cannot seem to score a job here. Time is running out for me because I have been around for two years without even one job. Please help.

A freelancer offering website development does not have to have a perfectly worded profile, that's excusable if English is not his first language. For a writer, that does not apply. You need to rework your profile, it's repetetive, and you start every paragraph with "I" which is not a great look. There is an overall sloppiness about it. 

How many proposals have you written?

[#23]

Thank you!

Pooja, you are off to a great start. Consider doing an introductory video (1 minute long).  Although I don't see any major deficiencies, there are several minor areas. The word count in the overview section is precious. I wouldn't want to waste it on details that can be found elsewhere e.g. "I'm Pooja from India". Unless you are targeting clients from a specific geographical region, location is unnecessary in the overview section. "I'm new to Upwork" might not be a necessary detail for a potential client. I'd encourage you to review your profile to provide relevant content to the client. Lastly, try to get some certifications in your area of work. It is not required to get started but it definitely helps in getting long term clients and larger contracts. 

Hope this helps; Good luck.
