Would appreciate feedback on my profile

[sumanfl]

Hi Liberata,

As per knowledge, your profile should complete with 100% which you don't have now. Then you will approve your profile with Upwork. Try to touch each and every section mentioned by Upwork. After that send proposal everyday to your niche. You will definitely get your job within few days. Best of Luck.

Thank You

Dear Sir,

I am new to up work and I don't understand how to start up job with up work lot of jobs shown online I have sent messages to them stating I have experience in customer service and typing skills if any data entry I can accept and submit without errors. I am unable to understand the bid to be claimed should be claim less value or more than the mentioned value. As well as please suggest me in up work do we find any fake jobs. I have read many articles where customers written as some of companies in up work are fake and untrusted or unverified payment. As per your advise I have changed the profile into public profile. Now next What should I do get a small project of job.

Hello to anyone that can see this. I have been on Upwork for a long time now, and I have as well improved in my skills and updated my profile to suit clients and yet I have not been able to land any gig. I am so hurt because I have sent out some series of proposals that are well constructed and still nothing. I have lowered my pay and even ready to work for free just to show what I can offer to my client. This is very hard and I need your honest opinion on what to do. Thanks

[42cd4915]

Hello 👋 and thank you for sharing your experience. Just one question: is your profile public? I have just tried to see it but it seems to be private. Can you also share your proposal?

[kenny_jessica]

Thanks for taking your time to reply. My profile is not public and I do not know why the settings changed. I have been constantly online but I can't seem to figure the reason.
THIS IS ONE OF MY PROPOSALS


**Edited for Community Guidelines** 


I also have more that I can copy and share.

Hi Kenechukwu,

Your profile visibility is now updated to public and your fellow freelancers will be able to review your profile. Thank you.

[kenny_jessica]

Thank you very much, I really do appreciate

[42cd4915]

Your profile is now visible and active! Happy you received assistance!
I think it’s a very good profile! But I cannot review your samples when I click on them on your portfolio! They are really important because they drive me to choose you instead of another profile! In addition, you can add maybe some past customers and your work experience at the bottom of your profile! Personally I prefer a more professional pic (even if I like it but not in this case). Please note that is my opinion!

[acedesignhub]

Hello Marco,

Thank you so much for taking the time to review my profile and your feedback.

What you're seeing when clicking on my portfolio because I am not sure what could be the reason behind this may be some technical glitch best I can do it to repost them I guess.

I'll add some reviews from my past clients, thanks for the advice I have over 200+ reviews on fiverr.

Also, I totally agree with your perspective on profile picture after reading some article yesterday I tried to put a better profile picture(i hope you were not talking about my current picture. )

Thanks again

[63f7f159]

Can anyone view my profile and please let me know what's wrong , and why i am not getting jobs.

[kenny_jessica]

Thank you Marco for this great help. I have changed my profile picture and also made some tweaks to my portfolio. Please review and check to see if you can view the samples I uploaded. Please I will need a feedback soon. Thanks.

[42cd4915]

Your profile pic is GREAT! Such a beautiful smile! You need to show it
everywhere!
Samples are now visible and I think they are ok!
My other advice is to use some bold, italic etc to catch the eye or some
bullets and so on:
you have a consistent presentation so it be useful for readers to focus on
main points!
Hope it could be useful for you!

I hope that a colleague can comment on your presentation, I can only tell you that you do NOT work for free.
DO NOT fall for the deception that some clients use to send them a "test" before hiring you. The most likely thing is that they keep the test and you have no contract or money.
If you work for free, what good will it do you?
You will not have customer reviews, nor will you earn anything and your profile will be empty of work done.

[kenny_jessica]

Hello Maria,
Thanks for this help. I feel motivated again, I can only fight and hope for the best. Thanks for this great help.

[shahzaib-zafer]

Hay Upwork Community Members,

with all my respect. Could you check my profile and provide me with feedback. I will appreciate it! Am waiting for your Response. It's totally 100% complete and publically Visible.

Thank you

[ea668e2e]

Hi upwork workers and Gurus,

I would love a review of my profile when you have a chance. It is now at 100% complete and we have begon creating some projects. i have a great JSS score and trying to get the badges is my next step. I also have some good reviews but have not gotten feedback on several of my more recient jobs. I am trying to figure out how to maximize all these feature on here but it does get confussing sometimes. Thank you for your time and any advice you have.

[acedesignhub]

Hi there,

Thank you for deciding to help me by providing feedback, I have a good amount of experience and applied for various jobs with no luck so far still trying to get my first job.

Thanks

[bambah_jasgul]

Hello Fellow mates,

After a long sabbatical, I want to kick off my upwork career again. Any help from you guys will be appreciated!

Thank you!!

[aditipie]

Jasgul, your profile reads well. The overview section needs changes. 1. Your title needs to be specific to services you offer. It has to match with the job postings. 2. Use first few lines to speak about your services/products rather than personal attributes. It can be through your testimonials or your own wording. 3. I noticed that your brand identity design and all work profiles are same. Consider the range of services you offer under each profile and then write the overview section. These are minor changes and you should be able to fix this soon. 

Good luck, I am hopeful that you will get a rising talent badge soon.  

[bambah_jasgul]

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback, it means a lot!

[khanadil29]

This is really an extraordinary feature or space is creating by the Upwork team and I really appreciated it. Further, It will be very beneficial for the new seller or a newbie like me. I want the GURU community to check my credentials and give me guidance. I fail to get any job. Which is now demotivated me.

[sumanfl]

Thank You

Hello Everyone, 

I'm new to Upwork. Could you kindly take a look at my profile and provide me with feedback. I will appreciate it!

Thank you!

[ofureo]

Thank you for this help! I am definitely interested.

[thejaswim]

Hi Mike. Can you check my profile as free lancer. If any issues please let me know. And my doubt how the process of freelancer works? I have submitted 2 proposals and waiting from 2 days. How we can know the status and how long it takes to be selected.

[TiffanyF]

Hi Thejaswi,

Welcome to Upwork!

Thanks for your message. I'm an Upwork Success Partner and an independent professional on Upwork for more than 6 years, and I'll be happy to share a few tips on how you can improve the marketability of your profile:

1. I noticed your profile isn't complete and I encourage you to have a 100% complete profile. Here are a few tips that might help you achieve this:

• Add additional skill tags. At this time you only have 8 skill tags and are allowed up to 15! Having the right skill tags might help you show up in relevant search results
• Add portfolio items. In my opinion, this is the most important section of your profile and it is very difficult to get hired without showing samples of your work. Your portfolio gives you the opportunity to impress potential clients with real-life examples of your skills and expertise. If the type of work you deliver is process-based instead of visual, consider adding items to your portfolio using the Case Study template. This template is designed for you to show off the analysis, process, or methodology you used in the project. Include relevant information about the challenge, your approach, project goals, and screenshots if possible. That way, you can show the client how you contributed to previous projects and the solutions implemented.

2. Take the Upwork Readiness Test. Passing the test is required to be eligible for the Rising Talent program. If you need additional background before taking the test, read this help article.

3. A few additional tips that might help you extra polish your profile:

• Your profile overview is short compared to the average and therefore it is difficult to understand what are your key skills and services and how you can help clients achieve their goals. Help them understand your abilities better by listing information about your skills and experience in an original and creative way.  For example, expand on who you are, the services you offer, and what you’re most passionate about. Here are some additional tips for writing a great Overview
• Since you are new to Upwork, I suggest that you request and post testimonials from your previous work experience/clients to showcase your skills and abilities to attract attention to your profile.  It is a great way to vouch for your background and shows clients that you are reliable and experienced
• Currently, you have one specialized profile. To ensure all of your expertise is captured using the features of specialized profiles, you might want to consider adding an additional specialized profile to showcase your skills. You can review a list of all of the options here to help you select the most relevant one. You can have up to two of these profiles which can help you show off different areas of work and market to specific types of clients.

I encourage you to visit the Upwork Events page for past and upcoming educational events. It might help you learn more about how to get started and be successful on Upwork.

As for your question about proposals, you can review the job post to see the last time the client reviewed it and if they are doing any interviews. Some clients move quickly and you will hear from them right away.  Others wait a few days before reaching out. It just depends on the client and how they want to work.  You might want to listen to the Proposals That Sell recorded webinar that might help you understand how to write custom-tailored proposals and grab the client's attention.

I hope this helps!

Best,

Tiffany F. | Upwork Success Partner
