Muzaffar,

Your profile photo would look great if it were a closer picture. 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.

Your main profile overview/summary does not provide enough information for most clients. You do a good job of saying exactly what you can provide (i.e., well-structured, grammatically correct, well-researched articles, blogs, essays, and research papers), but clients might want to know more.

For example, what is your process for researching academic subject matter before writing? What tone and style of writing do you use? Do you work closely with the client to determine an approach? Do you provid ongoing updates while researching and writing? How timely are you and can you work within specific schedules or budgets?

Your answers to questions like these can help a client better understand why they should hire you, what they will get, and how it will benefit them. I think your two specialized profiles are more representative of this and should be used as templates for your main profile.

The other areas of your profile look fine.

Please help me with a review of my profile. I am new here and would really appreciate your help.

Thanks.

[#6]

I personally think your profile is set up correctly.

You have a correction to make under your skills, you have more than one skill listed twice.

Aside that you're good to go

Muhammad,

Your profile title is clear, but you have almost zero information in your overview/summary. Use your summary to tell clients about your mechanical engineering experience, which services you provide (in addition to CAD drafting, civil 3D road profiles, and boundary wall elevation design), and how you can help meet their needs. There are thousands of mechanical engineers on Upwork, so you have to explain your qualifications, what you can do, and why you are the best engineer for the job.

Add more samples to your portfolio and select more relevant skill categories in your skills list (i.e., CAD Drafting, Mechanical Engineering, Drafting, etc.)

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:

Fardin

Your profile is okay, but you need to revise the beginning of your overview/summary. First, remove "Welcome! My Self Fardin Sadip" Next, combine the first sentence with the first paragraph:

I'm a skilled Data Entry Specialist and Virtual Assistant with 6 years of experience providing virtual assistant tasks, managing WordPress, performing data entry, lead generation and social media management, and graphic design. I make sure to do my projects excellently and on time.

The other areas of your profile look fine.

[#15]

Please review my profile and give me some hints so that i improve my profile.

[#16]

Hello Abdul,

I recommend removing ":glowing_star: Welcome to my profile! :glowing_star:" from your overview/summary. Why? Because only the first two sentences of your summary are shown to clients in searches, which means you have a small window of opportunity to grab their attention. You don't want to waste valuable space with a greeting.

You should also consider adding a project catalog. The project catalog allows you to setup a pre-packaged service that clients can buy without you sending a proposal. Due to higher than usual requests for project catalogs, reviews and approvals are taking a minimum of 10 business days. Read Get Started With Project Catalog for more information.

I do not see much more in your profile that can be improved. Everything else looks fine.

[#17]

Please help to find a jobs!

[#18]

Rigie,

Other freelancers cannot help you find jobs. We can only offer advice regarding your freelancing journey here on Upwork.

Since your profile is incomplete, clients will not hire you. I'm sure you know your hourly rate is ridiculously high and needs to be less than $25.00/hr. for a graphic designer based in the Philippines. You need to use your overview/summary to tell potential clients what you can design/develop and how you will work with them to meet their needs. You also need at least three or four more sample designs in your portfolio.

Kindly review my profile and give me feedback on how I can enhance it...

[#20]

Esther,

Your overview/summary offers a lot of great experience and background information. Unfortunately, you never tell potential clients about the services you will provide through Upwork. Clients need understand what you can do and how you can help them. For all of the experience information you mention, clients typically want to know how it relates to their needs.

Instead of starting your summary with the title of your chief director position, introduce yourself as an expert and immediately tell clients what you can provide to them. Here is an example:

I'm an expert Human Rights Coordinator focusing on women's rights and gender equality in government, business, and academia. I help organizations with program development and coordination, training, policy creation, supervising, and operating programs that empower and support women.

I'm currently Chief Director for Social Empowerment of Women within the Department of Women, Youth, and Persons with Disabilities (DWYPD)...

You have a very strong and specific work history with a wealth of experience. I think your profile speaks for itself. But the first two sentences of your summary need to tell clients what you can do to help them. Only the first two sentences of your summary are shown to clients in searches, which means you have a small window of opportunity to grab their attention. You want to use that small window to talk about what you can do, and what you can do to help them.

The other sections of your profile look great.

HeyAndrea!!! Would you mind giving feedback on my profile. 

[#22]

Hi Aditi,

Andrea is an Upwork Moderator. The moderators provide valuable information to freelancers and moderate the Forums, but they do not provide profile reviews.

Your profile is incomplete. You need to add more details to your overview/summary about your experience, specific services you provide, and how you will help your clients. You also need to update your skills list with more graphic design related skill categories and add a portfolio.

Hello Experts,

Can you please review my profile? I am not getting any invites and very low number of profile views.

Thank you. 

[#24]

Hello Ishank,

Many (or most) freelancers are experiencing the same (i.e., low or no invites and very few profile views). This very likely is not related to the quality of your profile.

I looked through your profile and everything looks fine. I recommend removing the first line from your overview/summary: "Hello, Thanks for visiting," since the first two sentences of the summary are important and the greeting wastes space.

Other than that, I see no huge problems that would prevent a client from hiring you.

[#25]

Hi, 
Can anyone review my profile and give some feedback please?

Hi Md Mahmudul,

I like your profile; I think it contains all of the necessary information for clients to understand your services and how you can help them.

You should consider adding a project catalog. The project catalog allows you to setup a pre-packaged service that clients can buy without you sending a proposal. Due to higher than usual requests for project catalogs, reviews and approvals are taking a minimum of 10 business days. Read Get Started With Project Catalog for more information.

The other areas of your profile look good. I do not see any problems that would prevent a client from hiring you.

Good luck!
