Hi everyone! 

 

My name is Rachael (she/her) and I just joined here as a freelancer specializing in content writing and social media content creation/management. I graduated from college almost a year ago and I thought freelancing would be a great way for me to gain relevant experience while I'm still looking for work. I'm hoping to further enhance my writing talents as well as develop new skills in writing for different industries.

 

Looking forward to connecting with you all.

Hi Andrea,

 

Thank you for your acknowledging new users over Upwork!

 

I'll come to the point, which I assume here I am. 😅

 

It's me Muhammad Bilal Anser simply called Bilal. Having exposure working in customer support field for over 7 years, I pride to call myself a Customer Support Representative.

 

I am from Pakistan.

 

Inspired by my first recruiter who with there 2 friends started their career as a freelancer with a an oustsourced project and today they own their Support Services company.

 

I myself like being a Customer Support Representative because in this role I get to interavt with real people from aroun the world, listen to their problems and have the capbility to offer resolutions amd satisfaction. This gives me a sense of qccomplishment. 

 

That's all for now. Will be seeing you guys around.

 

Thank you.

 

Bilal

1. "My name is Faadil from Ethiopia. I am talented in writing, content writing, article writing, video editing, and blogging."

Explanation: In this sentence, I made a few changes. Firstly, I added a period after "Ethiopia" since it's a separate sentence. Secondly, I modified the sentence structure to make it clearer. Instead of saying "I am my talent," I rephrased it to "I am talented in" to indicate that you possess skills in those areas. Lastly, I separated the different skills with commas to improve readability.

2. "Grammar and Language Skills:
- Proficiency in grammar, punctuation, and spelling
- Knowledge of sentence structure and syntax"

Explanation: The grammar in this section is correct. However, to make it more organized, it would be better to include a heading or title before the list, such as "Grammar and Language Skills." Additionally, ensure that you end each bullet point with a period to indicate a complete sentence.and translation language

Hello,

 

My name is Laura Lorber. I am a family and community mediator, mostly on Zoom. While I live in San Diego, California, I have clients throughout the United States and sometimes in Canada and Europe.

 

I have three specializations -

1. Helping co-parents navigate parenting plans, annual planning and flare-ups

2. Helping families come together to craft Elder Support Agreements to help negotiate and plan for the whole family supporting Mom and Dad as they age

3. Businesses:

  • Coaching - client disputes
  • Mediation - client disputes, employee disputes
  • Meeting Facilitation - planning, moving from a startup mentality to a more standardized, but not stagnant, corporate strategy

I am new to the Upwork community and would love to make connections both for referral and direct work. 

I am also a life-long learner, teacher and collaborator -- once I make knowledge my own, I am ready to share and grow with others!
