Hello everyone

[fbad1d24]

Hello, I am delighted to be able to introduce myself in this community.
This is my first attempt to work for myself, since I have worked in a dependency relationship all my working life.
I have worked in a notary's office and law firm, in a bank with money and administration, also in the directory transcribing the minutes, then with an accountant managing companies, keeping the books and bank accounts.
I have lived in England for ten years, I have worked and I have studied Fine art and design, but I do not do graphic design, I paint portraits.
It has been ten years since I returned from England to my country, Argentina, and I have not returned to work due to my age, but now I would like to strengthen my income from home.
I am sure of my typing skills and I would like a data entry job.
I have seen that there are simple jobs transcribing screenshots to MSWord, but I don't realize what they mean by screenshots and I don't know who to ask.
I hope the community can help me and guide me to get started.
I am already grateful
Lidia

1. What field do you work in, and where are you located?
   
   I am a UX/UI designer with 2+ years of experience in creating user-centered designs for web and mobile applications. I have worked with various clients across industries such as healthcare, finance, and e-commerce. Currently, I am located in Peshawar, Pakistan.

2. What are you hoping to learn from other members?
   
   As a freelancer, I believe in continuous learning and improvement. I am hoping to learn from other members in the Upwork community about new design trends, tools, and techniques that can help me enhance my skills and deliver better results to my clients.

I believe that creating designs that solve their problems and enhance their experiences is the ultimate goal of UX/UI design. Seeing their positive feedback and how my designs have made a difference in their lives is what drives me to continue designing and improving my skills.

Hey There,

I am a software engineer with a top skill set in UI/UX, database administration, and web design, situated in Lagos, Nigeria.

I hope to gain more insight into Internet of Things, by working with  several bright like minded individuals, I would like to birth a brain-storming idea myself.

#elonmusk, the whole idea of the metaverse is surreal and my biggest inspiration.

Hi, my name is Stephanie. I'm new to the platform. I'm a Technical Writer with experience in a variety of industries. I enjoy working in software development, but I'm always open to new opportunities and challenges.

I have a diverse background and multiple degrees. I spent several years in the accounting field, I've trained adults and taught children, I was a nanny for a minute, and I'm a professional singer. It's important that I stay busy - boredom is bad. It just gets me in trouble. 

I tell you this because it explains why I landed here! I've spent the last 2 years looking for full-time work after being laid off from a job I'd given all my energy to (avg. 80 hr/wk for ~ the last 4 years of that gig). My work-life balance was whacked. I have kept busy freelancing and looking for full-time work, but it's not paying the bills. So I'm trying new things (I'm really not all that bright, so we'll see how this goes...)!

I wish everyone a prosperous 2023! 

Stephanie C.

[williamtcooper]

My background is diversified as a Founder of a TV & Radio Broadcasting network channel.

My certifications, and studies are:  

coachfountain.com

Life Purpose Coach Certification, Group Life Coaching Certification, Goal Setting to Success Life Coaching Certification, Health, and Nutrition Life Coach Certification,

Happiness Life Coach Certification, Law of Attraction Certification, Relationship Workshop Facilitator for Life Coaching Certification, Professional Life Coaching, Certified Master Life Coach.

Right now I'm currently working remotely from Georgia. My 1099 is with a company I'm the founder of in NYC known as SMART ELEVATIONS. I don't believe that there is a difference between Free Lancing and being Self Employed Small Minority Business Owner or working from the office or home. 

What do I want to learn from other members?

1. Don't Be Afraid of Looking Dumb. Or, in other words: Ask questions. ...
2. Connect with Your Coworkers/Members. ‍ ...
3. Be Open to Criticism. Learning isn't a linear path where everything is perfect and easy. ...
4. Learn from Other's Mistakes. ...
5. Embrace Different Points of View.

Learning from everyone around me from my teammate to my competitor to the random person I bumped into in the coffee shop, or at a local Bodega... is something I find increasingly valuable. 

I’m an entrepreneur with a media company and my company’s product is stories. Accordingly, I spend a lot of time sitting down, talking with people, and learning their stories. I’ve discovered that the way that I learn about the world is by listening to (or reading) how other people experience it.

I’ve learned how to be an entrepreneur through the stories of mentors’ successes and failures. I’ve learned how to run my company through conversations with small business owners about how they work and by listening to how a former boss learned how to be a good manager. And I learned how to be a teammate by reading about examples of successful teams. 

Inspirations: 

• learning new things
• acquiring new skills
• meeting deadlines, goals, and targets
• coaching others
• improving processes, finding ways to solve problems
• leading a team or being a part of a team
• completing a difficult project
• overcoming challenges
• coming up with creative ideas
