My profile is not visible when I search it from the search bar

Hello there,

I hope everyone is doing well. I just started sending the proposal and now working actively on Upwork.  However, I have encountered an issue where my profile seems to be absent from search results, even when searching for my own name using. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or insights you may have in shedding light on this matter.
Please find the attached file below.

Hi Ammar,

Thank you for reaching out. I was able to find your account after adding a few filters.

As you can see, your profile is seen at the bottom of this screenshot. It is also worth noting that clients do not search for freelancers using their names. They don't know them unless they have already worked in the past so new clients will not look for you this way. Rather, they would look for keywords such as "SEO Specialist," "Virtual Assistant," "Digital Marketing Expert," etc. if they would like to look for freelancers whom they can invite to apply to their job listings. 

I suggest that you continue applying to jobs that best suit your experience and expertise in order for you to land your first job here on Upwork. 

I've pulled a few resources that may be helpful to you. Check out these articles to help you create a profile that stands out and improve your profile title and overview. For some great tips on writing proposals that win jobs, check out this article.
