New to upwork and I would really love a review of my profile

Hi guys, I am new to upwork. I have sent some proposals, and I have gotten zero invites or replies. Please I really need someone to review my profile and give me tips on how it could get better.  Thanks

Your profile looks neat , clients like to see examples of jobs you have done before . So when sending proposals , do you add examples of work you have done ?

Nope, I am new to upwork, so I have not done any job at upwork before that's why I can't attach them to the proposals.

  Is there any replacement for that?

Thanks for the review

But do you have any thing to show that you are good at what you saying .  You are new , so they must see that you are capable of doing the job .

How about a recommendation from my last place of employment

1. Your main profile and specialized profile should not have the same text. 

2. You can put any prior work into your portfolio, provided you own the copyright or have permission from the client. 

3. Do all the Academy courses - this is basic to understand how everything works.
