Hi there! 

I'm a graphic designer in Ontario, Canada. I've been working remotely from a home office since 2003—way before the pandemic made that a thing.

I have vast experience in print and website design and have kept my schedule full in the past from referrals and other long term client relationships, so I'm new to this sort of platform.

If anyone is willing to share, I'd love some tips about how to stand out and/or how to write an effective profile overview. Should I point out the fact that I have over 20 years of experience, or will that scare potential clients away because they could assume I'm too expensive? Should I include a long list of the types of projects I have experience in, or keep it brief?

I keep changing my mind, so any advice would be appreciated! 😁

 Hi everyone!

 

  My name is Paul and I am new to Upwork. I am a pharmacist with a wide variety of experience including medical information, project management, and as a medical content reviewer. I've been working with one client already for months as a freelancer off this site so I do have some freelancing experience but I'm new here and haven't been awarded my first project yet. 

I'm trying to focus on being a medical content reviewer and editor although my background includes content creation so I could also be a medical writer. I'm trying to navigate the platform and hopefully connect with potential clients soon.

 

I'm looking forward to learning more and sharing my experiences. Any tips or suggestions for success would be appreciated. Currently I am checking out the Upwork Academy for tips and to learn more about Upwork. 

Have a great day everyone!

Hello there!😊

I'm Gitonga (you can call me Brian...) and I'm pretty new to this platform. I'm from Kenya and I'm interested in working as a Research Scientist. I have a background in Analytical Chemistry. I have skills in Software Development, Data Analytics and Visualization and many more.

 

So, got any clients so far? 😅

No, unfortunately. Since joining this platform in June 2022, lol! I hope I get my first after I get a review done on my profile. I posted on the board, so that's that.

 

What do you look forward to learn from us? 🤔

I'd like to know how you guys started and maybe how you keep consistent on this platform. I want to learn from people who've gone before me and emerged in the end successful.

 

I'm inspired by... 😁heya_000.gif

 

The knowledge that life's pretty short and I've got to live it to the utmost!
