Hi Disha,
Thanks for setting your profile visibility. I looked through each section of your profile and here are a few changes I would make:
Title: Your title is okay, but I recommend only using skill areas and removing words like "in," "the," and "of." For example: Expert Web/Mobile Apps Tester (Android, iOS Platform)
Overview/Summary: The beginning of your summary will be more appealing to clients if your start with an introduction using a conversational tone. The information in your list is good, but you want to tell clients about your services and how you can help them.
First, remove "Professional Summary." Why? Because only the first 200-250 characters of your summary are shown to clients when they search for freelancers. This means you have very little space to get their attention. You want clients to see their goals (your services) in this small space--not headings or any unnecessary words. Then, use a conversational tone to start your summary:
| With 12+years of real-world software industry experience in testing software products and projects, I perform functionality, usability, and performance tests for web and mobile apps (Android, iOS Platform). I'm an expert in requirement analysis, test estimations, preparing Test Plans, Test Cases/Scenarios, peer reviews, test execution, and preparing defect summary reports and Test Closure reports. |
You can change things the way you like, but you get the general idea--use sentences and a conversational tone to tell clients what you can do. The reason to mention this early is because clients see the first 200+ characters and they should see your services in those 200 characters.
Portfolio: Add a portfolio to show samples of previous work or to demonstrate your skills. 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.
Employment History: Add short job descriptions to each job in your employment history. A job description is especially important when the job is highly relevant to the services you provide on Upwork. Upwork uses keywords in job titles and descriptions to match you with relevant jobs.
Project Catalog: 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.
You have a lot of good experience and skill information, and services in your summary, so clients should understand how you can help them. Using a conversational tone will make it sound more personable, which will hopefully convince clients to hire you.
