Hi everyone! My name is Kayla and I'm an attorney based out of the great (lol) state of Alabama. My skill sets focus on legal work (obviously), but I also really enjoy proofreading and copywriting. I'd love to learn from more experiened members, just how they found success in getting jobs and building a steady stream of work invites. I would say the people that inspire are people just like the ones on Upwork who are tackling this new frontier of remote/flex work in order to either find a full-time job, make a little side money or just hone their skills in a new field.

Hello all    I am Jacquie and I am a pretty good writer and would like some work doing writing projects for sure.  I have a lot of administration in my background so have the skills people need to get things done for them.  I am organized (usuallly lol!) and I have a lot of time on my hands right now so I hope to get started with something real soon,

I want to learn how to use all my skills in many areas because they are all transferable.  So, teach me please peoples. Help me to be inspired by you and by me every day.

Hi all,

I did just send an introduction a short while back, but will just say a few words again. My experience extends beyond 20 years dealing directly with clients, presenting products, managing queries and questions as well as objections. Also managing and resolving complaints, client service and retention.

Although new to this line, I feel I have plenty to offer our community as well as our clients. Looking forward to becoming a valuable member and gaining experience as well as adding to my resume.

Best regards, Mark
