Hey Everyone,

 

I am looking for some tips and feedback from you freelance pros out there. I am looking to land my first job as a freelancer on Upwork. However, I do have a decade of experience in my field as an employee working for large corporations.

Hi Heather B.,

 

Before starting the work...

Know what not to do here.

For Example...

  • Don't go outside UpWork no matter who calls you. Do the work in UpWork.
  • Do not share any of your personal contact information.
  • Don't ask for money/5 star rating in message box. and etc.

If you need an answer to any question, search your question first in the community. If you don't get an answer, post your question. Because you will get late reply when you post.
