Apply to everything you feel like you can do well every once in a while and then just keep repeating that until you get interviewed. Then repeat that again until you get hired. 

Until you get hired for something, spend the rest of your time honing your craft and you'll keep your sanity. If the only thing you do is apply to stuff, you're probably going to get a little edgy.

I stay all the time to apply but all is in vain. I was interviewed 3 times in my life looool hhh , in the end, the clients doesnt give any feedback!

I'm really fed up.

What do you mean feedback I thought you didn’t get any gigs?

@Mouna---What Jennifer said plus since your Profile is Private, we can't even view it to even give you possible assistance.  In addition, if you haven't already read all of the information available within this Community and within Help and Support to get started on Upwork..., you really do need to do that.  

Profile Visibility : Locked private
Because you haven't earned money on Upwork in a while, we set your profile to "private".

T_T unfortunately

 

You can find attached my profile in brief

why would you expect feedback after a interview/chat? That makes no sense.

feeback means : Decline or Accept an interviewer.

 I looked at your profile and have 0 clue what you do. you have data entry and voice talent and java and sql idk what's going on here. I admit I had to look up "polyvalent" and I imagine nobody is looking for that word and prolly has to look it up too but it's kinda cool that you know how to use a thesaurus and I learned a new word today yay

 

you cannot translate to english I'm gonna lay that on you right now and I don't know how many sql and java developers call themselves "computer specialists."

I'm not here to talk about what Java developpers call themselves.

Yea this seems like a dead end. You haven't earned for a while cause you can't get clients and then they make your profile private, and then your chances to get work are zero.

Since I joined the Upwork platform, I have not got any job I don't know what is the problem with my profile.
While I am on Fiverr too where I am Level 2 and have more than 100 reviews there, I registered both accounts almost at the same time.

It would be great for my career and me if someone guided me. Thanks

Since we can only mention positiv thing:
- You are honest about your English skils but you might want to add at least your native language.
- You have started a portfolio you could work on.
- You have specialized profiles
- Your profile has room for improvement

This is my problem also. I've been on Upwork for 3 years and never got a job. Now I find my profile is locked to private. How the hell am I supposed to get any work when nobody can see my profile....absolutely disgusting.

 

Hi Andrew,

 

I've reset your profile back to public as requested. Please be aware that when your profile is set to private, we won’t show it in search results when clients search for talent. However,  potential clients can still see your profile if you submit a proposal to their job post.

hello..
I am since 2012. I have done 100+ project about photo editing job. So I just bidding only photo editing, but I can't get any new job from December 2017. My profile is top rated, so I am disappointed. Please help..!  Smiley Sad

Hello Chandan. Not getting jobs for a long period of time sometimes happens. It might be a dry spell for you and it definitely, 100% will pass. While you are waiting you can do something about your portfolio. It is untidy at the moment. You can put the job samples of the completed works to the back of your portfolio. See the image. If you click those arrows you can change the order of portfolio items. After changing them don't forget to press "save" at the end of a very long list.

This way you can have the photo editing pieces on the first page.

 

You might also consider making categories. Please check my portfolio and you'll see what I mean.

 

From your profile text, delete your name and thanks. Clients see the first couple of lines of your profile when you apply to a job, don't waste that space with those. If I were you I'd also increase my hourly rate. You can double it an see how it goes. Try going for higher budget jobs with bids on budget, not lower prices. If the budget is 50 don't bid 30. I'm pretty sure you can get those jobs if you don't under bid.

Thank you all for your answers

Well I was all poised to offer the OP some tips about her profile.

 

But apparently, all her problems are solved. That's great to hear!

Your tips are always welcome Miss(es)  🙂

Mouna,

You need to reassess your profile. You are setting yourself up as perfect scam bait. Jill-of-all-trades, mistress-of-none, does not work in the freelancing world.

 

You have two below-average scores for one of the most saturated areas on Upwork. You should hide these, until you can score at least 30% on these two tests.

 

Since your B&M working life appears to be as IT manager, you should draw from this experience and offer relevant skills on Upwork.

Here's an unpopular option. You need to hire someone to write your profile for you. You're a coder. That's obvious. The people who will hire you aren't coders. They’re business owners looking for your expertise. English is quite clearly your second language. Those business owners are going to write you off as inexperienced and unprofessional if you can’t speak to them. Your profile tells me you can't. 

 

I’m not saying you need to speak English fluently but if you’re aiming for jobs in a primarily English market, you at least need to be able to fake it. Hire someone else to write your profile for you if you’re going to seek work in markets where English is the primary language.Otherwise, the only offers you're going to get are the rock bottom kind.

Hi,
The same situation here too, I am unable to get any job, I am continuously sending proposals to clients but no luck.
and the other side I have an account on Fiverr where I am now Level2 with more than 100 reviews, I register both accounts same time.
