Hi Rabea G.,
First change your profile picture. Show your full face in the picture.

Getting the first job on any freelance site is a bit difficult. Even if you have a good experience. If you are a fresher don't apply for all the jobs.
So, How to get a job?
According to my experience...
In Proposal
I also check these lists before applying for a job post.
Mostly, I will apply for 5-6 countries job posts only.
This is just my practice. So far I have not met any scammers. Also, I have successfully got a job this way.
It will take time, I don't know how much. It also depends on your skills.
Before starting the work...
Know what not to do here.
For Example...
If you need an answer to any question, search your question first in the community. If you don't get an answer, post your question. Because you will get late reply when you post.
