It can take a while to lend a job, but be patient try updating profile and apply on new jobs which met your skills and desired job. At some point you will lend a job for sure. Keep learning new stuff in parallel. 😇

Certainly!

1. 1Update your resume to highlight customer service skills.
2. 2 search online job boards using keywords like "customer service" and
"Spanish-speaking."
3. 3 Check company websites for job listings.
4. 4 Network with friends and professionals.

How to write good proposal as a web developer?

Dear Asam,

 

I'd like to share some insights on crafting compelling proposals. The key lies in understanding a client's challenges and offering a concise yet impactful solution.

 

Here are some effective strategies:

  • Deep Client Comprehension: Thoroughly analyze the client's needs and pain points.
  • Solution Teaser: Briefly showcase how your expertise addresses their specific challenges.
  • Portfolio Power: Include a link to your portfolio, highlighting relevant work demonstrating your capabilities.
  • Authentic Voice: Write in your own style, conveying your expertise and value proposition. Avoid relying on AI-generated content.
  • Conciseness is Key: Keep your proposal clear, concise, and easy to navigate.

By following these steps, you can create proposals that resonate with clients and showcase your ability to deliver exceptional results.

 

Best regards,

Falgun Sonwane
