I have made my profile quite a while ago, but I only succeeded in making one long-term contract.
Would anyone look into my profile and tell me what is wrong?
Those work experiences and explanations are all I got.
(I am very bad at resume)
Thank you in advance 🙂
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you. I've edited my comment above as I accessed your profile before I read your note 🙂
You have over three years of experience, so your "resume" is not bad at all. Just add a portfolio. Additionally, look at freelancer profiles in your field who have earned more. (They may or may not have a high JSS. Just look for high earners.) Next, see if any of their skills match with yours. Then include those words in your profile. A small reason why other freelancers scored contracts is - because they had 'keywords' that matched the job description in their profile. 🙂
Good luck. It's all okay.

Jane, you have a well-written profile and kudos on the long-term contract.
Your profile is missing a portfolio. I'd highly recommend to add that.

I changed to public mode now. I don't know why it happened cause I used to be "upwork users mode" so all of upwork users can see my profile...!

Hey Simantini K!
Can you please also review my profile? I have to try to get hired but not succeed over a few months.
