Hi Olufemi,

Thanks for your message. I have reviewed your profile and have few tips for you:

• Your profile is 90% complete and I encourage you to have it 100% complete. You can check this article for some guidelines on how to do that. 
• Take the Upwork Readiness Test. The test is required for getting a Rising Talent badge, once you become eligible. If you need additional background before taking the test, read this help article. 
• Your profile overview is short compared to the average. Consider crafting it as a pitch to prospective clients. Be clear on your expertise and try to concisely explain what you can do, how you do it, and for what type of business/client. Don't just talk about yourself and your skills, but include a paragraph to explain how you can help the clients.
• You only have 7 skill tags and are allowed up to 10. Having the right skill tags can help you appear in search more
• I encourage you to add portfolio items as it gives you the opportunity to impress potential clients with real-life examples of your skills and expertise. To help you look your best, consider showcasing 4+ examples of your best work. Learn more about building a great portfolio here.
• Add recent employment history item. If you don't have a recent employment history, consider adding your business as an individual professional as one line item. 

I hope this is helpful!

I recommend visiting the Upwork Events page. There are great past (recorded) and upcoming profile makeover webinars that can help you better understand how to position yourself and make your profile more marketable. 

Best,

Dafina C. | Upwork Success Partner

Hello Danas,

I have seen your profile, and as per my opinion your profile should require to add more details to get 100% complete. After that you should need to approve your website from Upwork. Try to touch every section mentioned by Upwork. And also try to get a testimonial from your previous employer. It would be better to built your trust level to clients. Best of Luck. Thank You

Sure, Polline. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Consider adding several items to your portfolio. You are in a competitive field. Without a decent portfolio, it is difficult to gain traction. 2. Consider checking from grammar and typos on customer service profile. There is a weird hyperlink for 'services.in'. Also, instead of 'any tasks' in the end, start with the services you offer e.g."I offer XYZ, ABC services for clients in PQR industry." 3. If you offer call support, potential clients would be interested in knowing your conversation skills. Consider adding a one minute introduction video.

Good luck, I think with some effort you will do quite well on this platform.

Thank you so much for the feedback. much appreciated

Hi Polline,

Thanks for posting in the Community! I took a look at your profile, and here are a few helpful tips:

• I notice you have 6 skill tags, and you could have 10! Skill tags help showcase your expertise and appear in relevant search results. Pro tip: Watch the skill tags clients are using on the projects you’re interested in to help you choose the most relevant ones.
  
  
• Great job of adding 1 portfolio item! Your portfolio gives you the opportunity to show prospective clients real-life examples of your skills and expertise. To show the clients how you can help them, consider showcasing 4+ examples of your best, most recent work. Check out this article to learn about best practices for building a great portfolio.
  
  
• I noticed you don’t have anything listed in your employment history. I suggest adding relevant details to your employment history to help clients understand your background (both on and off Upwork). It might help to focus on projects or roles that are related to the type of projects you want. Consider adding a brief description about responsibilities and examples of accomplished projects for each role. If you have any long-term projects, I suggest you list them as it shows your experience and loyalty to clients. It also establishes your credibility as an independent professional. If you don’t have employment history, consider adding your career as an independent professional as one line item, with a brief description summarizing your focus.
  

Let us know if you need more help!

Best,
Nadja

I'm going to complete a month on upwork, and I feel a little frustrated because I have worked very hard on my profile and on the proposals and I have only managed to get one contract out of 50 proposals that I have sent; I don't feel like buying more connects. And I feel I need a second opinion to see what is going on.

Lina Maria, your profile reads well and does not require any major changes. You could look at jobs in your field an try to fine tune accordingly.

Hi, I hope you are all doing fine.
I want to know if I can improve my profile in any way.
I know that there is already a thread for new freelancers for profile review. But there is too much rush and my comment didn't get that much attention.

[karithigeorge]

Dear Mike. Kindly give feedback on my profile. How does it appear? Is it sellable, or up to the task? Are there some things I need to edit?

Regards Alfred. K

Hi Qaisar,

1st of all you should complete your profile with 100% shows on the right side of you feed page. Then you have to approve your profile with Upwork. Try to touch each and every section mentioned by Upwork. And then send your previous employer to give you a testimonial, which will effect your trust level to the client. After complete the all process send proposal everyday, I assure you definitely get you work within few days. Best of Luck.
