Hello! I am new to this. I hope they will consider my proposal. How would I know if I get hired?

Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing well!
Please can you have a look at my profile and share any feedback you may have about how I could improve it? I am applying for tons of jobs but having very little response. https://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/~0175bdeece35001e1a/
I would really, REALLY appreciate it! I'm not sure what I am doing wrong 😭
Thanks, Nats

Hi Natalie,
From my perspective, your profile looks quite good. I don't see a lot of room for improvement. You probably just need to have more patience. Seems like you're well on your way!
Good luck
Edit #1
Oops. I see that your last job was in 2018. I didn't catch that the first time around. That seems odd. I would advise to brush up on your proposals*.

Thanks, Mike I appreciate you taking the time to have a look. I will keep at it 🙂

The reason my last job was in 2018 was that I had a full-time job and was freelancing after hours, but it was too much, so I stopped (unfortunately, I lost my JSS). I am now 100% freelance and trying to build up a client base, but it seems much more difficult in 2020 to even get a response from a proposal.

Hey, can you review my profile, please? I'm not getting a single order
Nov 3, 2020 06:42:24 PM by Riskhan A
Can anyone please review my profile, I have sent more than 15 proposals but didn't get one chance even. If buyers looking for freelancers with many reviews, how can a new freelancer in Upwork will get orders?

I am new to Upwork.
Veery pleased with its structures, protocols, etc.
Worked hard to establish a good Upwork profile, but I know there are always ways to improve it.
I am very open to constructive feedback.
I am pleased to say that I finished my first contract yesterday, using the Upwork Zoom platform, and internal messaging system through the process. I am also pleased to say that my furst Upwork expereince was a mutual success --for both the cleint (CEO level Job seeker) and myself. INn fact, she has let me know that she will be posting her positive feedback on by Wednesday.
I look forward to new carrying out new contracts in the weeks, and months (and years) to come, as well. UNfortuantely, at present, there does not seem to be a large pool of requestes for my areas of expertise: Linkedin Optimization, Career Coaching and Interview Prep --primarily at the mid-executive job-seeker level.
Or, perjhaps my search for these types of assignments is too restricted and can be enlarged.
Also, I wonder how easily I can be foudn my prospective cleints seeking the skills and serivces that i offer?
All constructive inout an dfeedback is appreciated, especially at this early juncture.

As long as your profile is public (it is), you can be found in the search results when potential clients look for the skills you have put in. Search results are rotated on a regular basis, so it depends on how high on the top you appear, how far the client is willing to scroll down, etc.
Your rate is high, which might result in less views of your profile, or more views without hire, the clients willing to pay it may be very few, so you should probably not expect a steady stream of work.
