Greetings everyone, I'm Bijay Limbu, from Kathmandu, Nepal. I am new to this platform. I have 17 years experience in bookkeeping, accounting and taxation. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to collaborate with all of you.

Hey Bijay, nice to meet you! I'm intrigued by what you're working on. Once upon a time, I dreamt of becoming an accountant, but unfortunately, my circumstances didn't allow for it.

Hello, Upwork Community!

 

My name is Ken, and I own a small retail mattress store. I LOVE what I do, but there is no denying that there is quite a substantial amount of downtime. There is only a certain amount of time that can be allocated to marketing and research while waiting for customers, and rather than reading, playing video games, or some other activity to pass the time, I decided to make some passive income by freelancing here.

 

I am in Greensboro, NC, and the weather is finally warming up enough that I found it appropriate to put my hummingbird feeders back up, one of my son's favorite things to watch! My son is the true motivation behind wanting to make my business succeed and my participation here; that little man lights up my life. I would love to proofread and edit papers from middle school through undergrad, which has always been my strongest skill. In my childhood, I even found errors written in Harry Potter! 

 

I hope to learn alongside you, make money, and help our clientele grow!

As you know I'm a  beginner and it kinda hard for me to buy them. I hope to get promo code from Upwork so I can proceed my profile to my clients by buying connects. I got inspired from a YouTube video

Hello all, I'm Jf (Annette) from Singapore. I joined Upwork couple years ago but wasn't really active but now I'm back and excited to take on more projects here. I've 3 years experience as an Innovation Specialist cum Business Analyst. Hoping to pick up from fellow freelancers how to "sell" yourselves, especially if you're successfully picking up projects which may not be related to your main bread and butter experiences i.e. I really want to do translation work but what's a good strategy to sell my capabilities. And of course to hear from other experienced members about their journey with Upwork!

One of my current inspirational character is Dory from Finding Nemo/Dory! All I can say is that "just keep swimming" is something I'm currently doing 🙂 Thanks for reading this everyone~

Hi everyone,

 

I'm a digital media artist from the Caribbean, I've been actively pursuing a career in graphic design and creative media production for a few years. Over the years I have worked with NGO's mostly because they needed the most support. Through that channel, I was gifted the opportunity to do projects of varying complexities. I also enjoy restoration and archiving, through upwork I get to experience the diverse culture of the world and meet new professionals. 

Glad to connect with you.

Hello--

I'm Summer and from Northern Indiana. Been a technical writer for about 15+ years; been working in the aerospace industry for the last 10. Just joined to create a side hustle and also thought it might lead to some longer term opportunities at some point. I'm pretty good at Word. And I like to edit and proofread others' work. Also, the Oxford Comma inspires me. 🙃

Hi there from a fellow Oxford Comma enthusiast!
