feel free to dm me for jobs. Im here at your service.

 

 

I don't think clients go to a section called "Freelancers"

As a new freelancer, the chances of a client reaching out to you for work is unlikely. The platform works best for most freelancers when you search for jobs that match your skills/qualifications, and apply to those jobs.

 

Since you are new to Upwork, make sure your profile is 100% complete before applying to any job. At a minimum, you should do the following:

1. I am an Operations Coordinator for a property management organization.

2. The do's and don'ts to getting your first gig on Upwork. Plus advise on what I can be doing outside of Upwork to acquire more knowledge, what I should do if I am interested in freelance work that utilizes talents outside of what I've been doing for a living the oh so many years.

3. This a more difficult question to answer as my interests lie in creative writing. Primarily blogging/articles/literature to name a few. Even content writing and anything with a funny bone. But most inspiration comes from the authors that I follow, not all but more than a few. I'm also open to getting inspiration from fellow Upworkers that are doing what I am aiming to do and doing it successfully.

I am a UI/UX Expert and Website Designer with over 8 years of experience in the industry. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with 3 different companies, where I gained valuable experience and honed my skills in website design and user experience.

My journey in this field started in 2018 when I joined my first company as a Junior Website Designer. During my time there, I worked on a variety of projects ranging from small business websites to large-scale e-commerce platforms. I was able to gain experience in website design, website development, and project management. I also had the opportunity to work closely with clients, understanding their needs and translating them into functional designs.


Most recently, I worked at Salesforce Partner as a Senior UI/UX Engineer. In this role, I was responsible for leading design projects from start to finish, overseeing a team of designers, and managing client relationships. I was able to work on some exciting projects such as designing a custom CRM system for a large corporation and redesigning a mobile app for a startup.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with over 79 happy clients, delivering high-quality designs that meet their needs and exceed their expectations. I am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow and expand my skillset.

As a professional freelance translator and physician, I work in language translation and healthcare. I am located in Egypt.

 

I hope to learn from other members about new developments in the translation industry, best practices for delivering high-quality translations, and tips for effectively communicating with clients.

 

In terms of inspiration, I am motivated by bridging the gap between different cultures and languages and helping people effectively communicate their message to their target audience. The satisfaction of providing accurate translations that make a difference in people's lives is what drives me to continue improving my skills and knowledge in these fields.
