How to get my first job

[nokulungantombel]

Hi
I am new to upwork and I recently graduated with a degree in Accounting. I have never worked whatsoever, and I can't seem to secure my first job. I need help on where to learn for new skills and overall revamp my profile. I have applied to five jobs that are basically transcribing and have had no luck. Please help me. I only have my degree on my profile no testimonies nothing.

I would suggest you do free certifications that can help you develop a skill. Google and Hubspot have free certifications that you can do in a day or two. These will help to add flesh to your profile at least.
