Hi Vladimir,
I reviewed your profile and everything looks good. I suggest one small correction for your title and a small revision of your overview/summary.
Title: There should be an "e" at the end of "premier": Premiere Pro Video Editor.
Overview/Summary: Your summary is good, but the first few lines are crucial. The first two lines are important because the client sees this when searching for freelancers and you want to make an impact to convince them to read your entire profile. With that, you don't want to waste any space saying "hello" or "welcome."
Instead, I would begin your summary like the Top-Rated profile listed above yours in the screenshot. For your main profile, I would remove "welcome" and combine the first two sentences into a single paragraph:
What is the best way to ensure vibrant, high-quality videos and take your business to the next level? I am a dynamic and versatile professional Video Editor specializing in producing stunning videos and animations in a wide variety of styles and formats. I work in a timely manner and make sure each project is completed with the utmost professionalism.
I have a proven track record of creating impactful videos that drive results and improve my clients' online visibility. I take my clients far beyond typical video processing by emphasizing quality in every step of the editing process to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and clear look.
You will get: (everything after this is good) |
The same thing for your 2D Animation specialized profile: remove the "Hiya!" Everything after that is good.
Your portfolio, skills categories and project catalog are great.
Just keep applying for jobs that match your qualifications by writing great cover letters. Write a custom cover letter based on the client's job: 1) acknowledge the job you are applying for; 2) highlight your qualifications; 3) explain how you will solve their problem; and finally, 4) request an Upwork Zoom call to discuss their project.
Nhan,
Andrea is an Upwork Moderator. The moderators provide valuable information, help freelancers and moderate the Forums, but they do not provide profile reviews.
I reviewed your profile and here are a few issues I see:
Overview/Summary: Remove the first three (3) lines in your summary (see screenshot).
This is important because the first two lines are seen by clients when they search for freelancers with your skills. You want to make an impact with these first two lines, and you don't want to waste that space with redundant content or dividers or dashed lines.
Also, you should remove the "hello there!" from the next paragraph; correct a few grammatical errors; and completely remove any content about being a new freelancer, possible displeasure with your work, or profile reviews. I would rewite it like this:
I'm an energetic 2D Artist and Illustrator with more than 3 years of experience designing high-quality iIlustrations for businesses and organizations. I bring my clients' ideas to reality and go beyond their expectations by understanding their needs and offering solutions that not only fit, but take their products to the next level.
My clients often request unique character designs, hand-drawings, concept art and other designs. I visualize their ideas, and design and develop solutions to get be best output. I am only successful when I create memorable visual experiences that improve my client's brand.
My illustration is about: |
Skills: We are allowed up to 15 skills, so you should add more, but only if they are relevant to your art and illustration skills.
After you make these updates, start applying for jobs that match your qualifications and skills by writing great cover letters. In your cover letters, always make sure you create a custom response based on the client's job. Focus on the client's specific points in their job description; highlight your qualifications; and tell the client how you will meet their requirements.
Good luck!
