Hi guys,
I'm new to Upwork. I'm chatting with a member I think accepted my proposal. Now how can I know if he actually hired me? Should I receive a notification? Sorry if my question sounds stupid, but I'm really new here and I don't know so good how it works yet.

Also, Upwork will send you notice when you have been hired by a new client.
Read the client's "offer" carefully and only "accept" it if it is acceptable to you. If you want some detail - a milestone's date, the pricing, etc. - changed, let the client know and work through the Upwork system to get the offer where you want it to be.

Since you're new, and "don't know so good", perhaps you should read all the available help articles first, to learn how it works. It's not a good idea to jump in and start bidding until you educate yourself.

Hello,
I am also new for upwork and I am web developer. How can I get offer for the first time?
Sincerely
I wouldn't start applying to jobs before your profile is perfect, for example, you lack a portfolio. There are a lot of helpful articles, and since you found the forum, search that too. If you are serious about this at all, I recommend you research other people in your field and learn from how they present. No copy/pasting or stealing anything, obviously. But before you start, you need to know your competition.
