Hello, I signed up my upwork account months ago and since then I have not gotten a single job.
My guess: I am doing something wrong.
Can some please help me review my profile and point out where I should make necessary adjustments.
I will so much appreciate this.
Thanks and Warm Regards.
Oluwafemi.

My suggestions - You have multiple grammar errors in your profile - I suggest you set your English to fluent rather than native. Lose the introduction - it's a waste of valuable space. Add to your portfolio - you can add things that you write specifically for your portfolio. Take some more tests.
Good luck - hope this helps!

The formatting you're using is odd. A new line after every sentence isn't standard. It could be off-putting to clients to see consistently unorthodox formatting in your profile because you're selling yourself as a writer.
Mary's spot-on about the grammatical and spelling errors. You've got to fix those. Write a profile overview that's short & sweet. Review some other writers' profiles and see the sorts of things they do to differentiate themselves from the competition and make themselves attractive to clients.
