How can i get Work

Musfiqur R · May 29, 2017 09:28:42 AM

HI,

I'm Musfiqur. My working area ie Html Email Template & signatures develope. I'm so worried about my job, I've recently completed my first Project and Now I'm stuck on the 2nd job. I really don't understand why i can't get any project? I've sent proposals on jobs which perfectly match on my skill but even not get any response, also no invitation.

What should I do next? please give me a suggestion.

Hi Musfiqur,

I had a look at your profile. Your English may be letting you down in some areas. Plus the English test could do with being a 5 to match the 'fluent in English' tab that appears on the right hand side of your profile. Most people have a 5 out of 5 on their profile for English if they are listing themselves as fluent. Clients look for little things like this.

Also, $5 an hour is quite low. It portrays low confidence in your work. Are you worth only $5 an hour?

Quality clients hardly ever go for the lowest price.

Hope that helps a little,

Louisa

It's because your portfolio items are stolen and hopefully clients are verifying your "expertise" at the copy and paste and realizing that they would be better off going with a real professional.

I think you do some mistake. my portfolio is my sample work. I have the original code.

I am going through the same thing. It seems so hard to get work on here. When it was Odesk it was easier. I have so so many skills but I submit so many proposals. I am wondering if the potential clients have time to review my profile. I pray you get work as well as myself sir.
