You get ups and downs. Sometimes you might get a few jobs at a time, sometimes you can't get anything.
It gets easier the more jobs you get.
I'm almost out of connects at the moment, and I have 8 jobs completed. I've had a few promising interviews but for one reason or another, not too much has happened for me lately on Upwork.
Maybe try experimenting with different pay rates and proposal methods.
If you get the "Rising Talent" badge that will help.
Hope you find work soon Suleiman.

No worries 🙂
Yeah, I'm not too sure how exactly the Rising Talent badge is rewarded. It seems that it's based on at least one factor that's outside of what you can control on your profile: oppurtunities available in the market.
The most important thing is you got your first job. It should be easier to get your second now that you have had your first. Once you've had around 5 jobs your job success score will be calculated, then you won't need a Rising Talent badge.

I can relate. Getting a second job can be a bummer. Just got to keep on trying.
