Hi Upwork community!  I'm Ashlee, I live in Florida with my daughter and cats.  I have several years experience working in Accounting/Finance, but recently took a detour into the Dev world and completed a 6-month Full Stack Web Development bootcamp.  I'm having a hard time figuring out how to sell myself since, my work experience is in a field I'm not as interested in these days.  I haven't had any real-world work experience with web development yet.  Any suggestions appreciated!

I have been working in three jobs since graduation, but I have not been very stable. I now want to do a job that I enjoy. I want to be an international Chinese teacher and learn and communicate with foreign friends. I have worked in sales before, and my communication skills are still good. I also want to work in photography because I really enjoy photography!

Hi Siwen, welcome to Upwork! I have reviewed your profile, and I would like to suggest that you update it to be in English. This way, people who do not understand Chinese will also be able to hire you.

Kind regards.

Greetings,

I'm new to this platform and eager to secure some work opportunities. With over 25 years of experience as a graphic designer, I have had the privilege of working with numerous companies in both freelance and full-time capacities. However, for the past seven years, I have diverted my focus towards photography and exploring new opportunities in this field. I have a particular interest in finding catalog jobs where I can engage in end-to-end work, starting from photographing a company's products and proceeding to design and produce catalogs for both online and print distribution. Although I am uncertain if such opportunities exist, I thought it was worth a try. In terms of photography, my recent work has primarily revolved around real estate photography, while also exploring the realm of newborn photography.

I am currently based in the scenic state of New Hampshire, located in the United States.

Throughout my career, I have always found great value in engaging with communities of like-minded individuals. These communities have served as invaluable resources, offering opportunities to stay updated on industry trends and gather insightful suggestions on various aspects of the profession.

As for what inspires me, it's the prospect of finding a fulfilling job that I can wholeheartedly embrace. I have a deep appreciation for nature and find solace in spending time outdoors.

Thank you for considering my introduction. I look forward to exploring potential collaborations and opportunities here.

Warm regards,

Jill

Hello, my name is Megi Megantara

I'm New To Upwork
how should i start? because I'm from ZERO here.

but I have worked as company staff and others, and know the company's information system can work.

Can the work at UPwork be relied upon and can be held accountable? or is there a hoax too

Hi everyone, looking forward to being part of this group. I get approached all the time by people who have a story to tell and I've decided that it might be fun to help them tell it. Everyone has a reason for the stories they've lived or told. For me it's therapy. For you it might be something else. But how nice is it that we live in a world where we can not only tell our own stories but help others tell theirs
