Hello All,

It's a little hard to even get into a interview, for new freelancers. It is common for most of the freelancers to struggle with getting the first contract in the beginning..

I must apply these, if you haven't yet:

Avoid using the same copy and paste proposal for each job.

Prepare the proposal for each job exclusively.

Try to show that you have read the job description.

Also, try to show the client that you stand out.

Showcase your employment history in little more details.

Showcase some portfolios if you have any. Portfolio helps a lot in the way of getting your very first contract.

Give more tests, including US and UK language tests. Many clients prefer freelancers with good score in language tests.

Last but not the least: DON'T APPLY IN ANY IRRELEVANT JOB POST. 

Apply these and let us know if these helps. Feel free to contact for any further query.

Hope, you'll get new contract soon.
