Good morning.  My name is Wendy.  I am struggling to get my 1st project and I dont unnderstand why.

I have experience in transportation (big trucks and aircraft), Engineering, Design-Build Construction, and I am currently employed by a local state university.  I am always looking for good networking opportunities and I believe you can never have enough mentoring.  I am a Christian and I believe God puts us where we are supposed to be in his timing.  I am inspired by my husband who is a new BK amputee.   I am hoping to start my own side hustle.  I have plans for a Daily Devotional Prayer Journal geared towards the support for spouses of amputees.  I have received a great amount of attention for the idea and I hope to get it off the ground in the next few months.  If anyone would like to offer any tips or suggestions, feel free!  This is my 1st effort and any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have attached my resume for all to see and critique.

Good Morning! I am Angel Cleveland from Lonoke Arkansas. When asked where Lonoke is, we reply 20 minutes east of North Little Rock. 

I am coming from the Lubricants/Oil Industry. The company I worked for delivered bulk oil to Oil change centers. The company is one of Shell Lubricants top customers in the United States. For the last 6 years, I have worked for this company in human resources/administration side of things. I have experience in anything from payroll and employee benefits to fleet management and driver qualification files. I was also involved in customer support which included running quarterly rebate reports.

Before that, my husband and I started a hardware store from scratch and successfully ran it in our small town for 9 years. Through that journey, I learned many skills, including inventory control, customer relations, Accounts receivables/payables.

 

If this is not the correct format, please let me know!

Hello everyone,

Thank you for the warm welcome to the Upwork Community! Allow me to introduce myself; I am Joan, a fresh face eager to dive headfirst into the dynamic world of freelancing on Upwork. While I may be new to this platform, my passion, drive, and commitment to excellence are anything but novice.


To kick things off, here's a little about myself:

𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

I specialize in administrative assistance, focusing on client follow-up via email and phone calls within the construction industry. Currently residing in the Province of Masbate, where securing stable internet connection is crucial for me. I'm deeply passionate about providing administrative support and derive fulfillment from assisting my clients in achieving success in their respective fields or businesses.

Learning Goals:

I want to learn how others succeed in virtual work, what skills I need, and how to land my first client for my first paycheck. I love to learn video editing also & Excited to share insights and strategies to boost my freelancing journey.

Inspiration:
What truly motivates me is the vision of my expanding family, which includes three children. My aspiration is to provide them with opportunities for higher education without them having to follow the same path I did as a working student. My belief in honesty and relying on divine guidance to navigate my journey towards success is unwavering.

I look forward to engaging with this vibrant community, attending events, and collaborating with fellow freelancers. Together, I'm confident we can achieve great things and continue to thrive on Upwork.


Thank you once again for the warm welcome, and I can't wait to connect with all of you!

Best regards,

Joan

Hi all

 

I am Shalini. I have been working on upwork since 2008. However, I was engaged with some long term projects in education and defence vertical for a very long time and so my engagement on upwork was minimal over the past 4 years. I am looking at resuming the upwork journey yet again. My earlier stint saw some very good projects that helped me learn and grow. I am a Full stack Developer who has evolved with technologies, lead a team of 24 developers, designers, Data Science Engineers and testers. I have been working as a Tech Lead for a UK based company's development team based in India for the past decade now. 

Back to upwork, what thrills me here is the mad adrenaline that encourages us to learn more, stick to timelines, grow with a community. Please let me know if anyone here needs help with PHP, Python, React, Node, Flutter, Kibana, Elastic Search, Figma, wireframing, Project Planning. Shall be happy to join hands.
