Hello Anosha

 

I already viewed your account but I don't think you gave a well standard profile

You don't have a complete specialized profile which is suppose to be 3

Kindly check my profile and check somethings you need to add to your profile to make it standard

Hello Ihsan

I have carefully viewed your profile and to me is not not yet enough, there are still a lot of things you haven't completed yet, though your profile description is good and caught my attention

But you have to add more portfolio to your account

Add more skills, I guess the maximum skills you can add is 15 add your skills up to 15

Create more project catalogue, the maximum is 20 project catalogue

Add more of your employment history

Add more experience to your profile so buyer can trjust you with that

Kindly review my profile and give me feedback: https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~0124772f1a5b6edd42

M U,

 

The purpose of this thread is to offer or get feedback on your Upwork profile.

 

If you are a digital marketer, your profile title should be Digital Marketer or Digital Marketing--not "freelancer."

 

Also, add more items to your portfolio to show samples of your work. The portfolio is a chance to make a positive first impression on potential clients.

Hi Hamza,

 

Be careful with phrases like: " I've had the privilege of collaborating with Fortune 10 companies on significant projects." There is no "Fortune 10." You might be referring to Fortune 100, but if you cannot show specific collaboration in your profile, clients might be reluctant to believe it.

 

In your Ecommerce Website Development specialized profile, you should remove "with 8 years of experience" from your title. Upwork recommends using phrases like this in your summary, but not in the title.

 

Consider adding Full-Stack Development to your skills list. We are allowed only 15 skill categories, so you will have to remove a category to add Full-Stack Development. Adding Full-Stack Development is important because you use it in your title and summary.

 

Also, add skill categories to each item in your portfolio. This is similar to the skill categories in your skills list and helps Upwork match you with relevant jobs.

 

The other sections of your profile look fine.

Hello Saqib

I have carefully reviewed your profile and I guess it's ok just that ytou don't have a well standard profile

Your profile is meant for you to introduce yourself, your expertise, years of ewxperience, people you have worked with and alot of things you know you might add

Your profile is not meant to be short

Add more portfolio

I see your skills are ok, but have to keep updating your skills regularly

Create more project catalogue, you can createw up to 20 project catalogue

Add  more employment history

Add your other experience as well, you can add up to 8

 

Kindly review my upwork and give me your feedback: https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~0124772f1a5b6edd42

Hello Aleena,

 

Overall, I think your profile looks good.

 

However, I suggest not telling clients that you recently launched your Amazon VA services since most clients are looking for Amazon VAs with a lot of experience. Also, you should remove your name from the first sentence since clients can see your name on your profile. Clients can only see the first two sentences of your summary when they search, so you have very little space to grab their attention. You do not want to waste space repeating your name.

Instead, I would phrase it like this:

 

I am a self-motivated Amazon Virtual Assistant who can assist you with administration, content creation, and product sourcing for your Amazon business. I focus on Amazon wholesale and private label models, and it would be my pleasure to share my methods to help grow your business.

 

My Services are:

(...)

 

I think the other areas of your profile look good.

Rama,

 

Andrea is an Upwork Moderator. The moderators provide valuable information to freelancers and moderate the Forums, but they do not provide profile reviews nor can they help you get contract work on Upwork.

 

I think you need to revise your title to something more meaningful to clients. Using a title like "Researcher" is vague and clients will have no idea what you do.

 

In your profile, your overview/summary should not be a copy/paste of a résume. Instead, your summary should be an overview of your skills and services you can provide to clients. Also, parts of your summary are written from a third-person point of view ("they") when everything in your summary should be written from a first-person point of view ("I").

 

Make the first part of your summary an introduction instead of a list. You can easily do this by moving the content at the end, to the top, and adding blank lines between paragraphs. For example:

 

I am a skilled Medical Researcher with a Ph.D. Zoology and MSc. Zoology with extensive experience in wildlife biology, molecular/cell culture work, data management, and flow cytometer data analysis. I conduct extensive research through data collection, data management, and data analysis.

 

I have conducted in-depth research in wildlife biology, focusing on animal behavior, habitat analysis, and population dynamics. I have also worked on molecular and cell culture work, using advanced techniques and equipment to study biochemistry cellular processes, and cell signaling. I can help manage extensive datasets related to wildlife biology research using Excel, ensuring accuracy and integrity.

 

I have also analyzed flow cytometry data, a crucial tool in cellular analysis, to make informed conclusions and recommendations for further research. This experience allows me to work as a data analyst, collecting and organizing wildlife data, and utilizing Excel for data analysis. My expertise in these areas has contributed to the field of zoology and wildlife conservation.

 

My experience includes:

• Research experience (Wildlife Biology, Molecular/Cell Culture Work, Data Management, Flow Cytometer Data Analysis)

 

(...)

 

Add a portfolio to show samples of your work. The portfolio is a chance to make a positive first impression on potential clients. If you don’t have relevant examples to add to your portfolio, you can create items that demonstrate your skills.

 

Also, add more skill categories to your skills list. Consider adding Zoology, Data Analysis, Biology, Molecular Biology, and any others related to your work. It is important to keep your skills list updated with relevant skills categories so that Upwork can match you with relevant jobs, and so your profile will appear when clients search for your skills.

 

Good luck!
