Hello! I am new to upwork and would appreciate some feedback on my profile. I posted on the main thread but haven’t received a response yet. Thanks in advance!

Very nice! Great picture and overview. It's probably hard to have portfolio pieces in your line of work, but they are sooo important - they grab potential customer's attention, and make them linger on your profile longer. So if you can think of anything to put there, that would be good.

Edit: I see you have one portfolio piece. Maybe you can add more, and use some nice colorful picture as a thumbnail.

Otherwise, no complaints! Finally: Stay clear of scammers that will want to send you fake checks.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I will try to think of other things to add to my portfolio. Unfortunately, all I’ve had respond are scammers but luckily I think I can weed them out!

Yeah, I'm a little surprised they target you, because you present very professionally. But you're still an upwork newbie, sooo... Good that you know how to recognize them.
