Will someone please look at my Profile and make suggestions?

 

Am I allowed to give my personal website address on my Profile?

Hi

If you have skill related website Yes, you can provide your website. That more porfessional in your overview. 

Thank you

 Shouvo, you need to STOP giving bad advice.  You clearly haven't a clue what you are talking about.

 

It is NOT allowed to have your website on your profile,unless that website has no contact facility on it anywhere.

 Debra, your overview is waaaaaaay too long. Cut out all the "personal" stuff (clients do not care about grandkids or how long you were a stay at home mum or what your husband did for a living. Clients care about how hiring you will get their project done) and maybe tone done the religious emphasis a little unless that is the only niche you are able or willing to work in.

 

I reckon you could cut your overview to half at most.

 

No, you are not allowed to have a link to your website on your profile unless there is NO way to contact you from the website.

 

Complete your profile with a meaningful portfolio of your best work and your employment history. Take some more skill tests.

 

Also, when clients look at a list of freelancers, all they see is the first line. That is your most important "real estate" and where you need to present your unique selling point. Yours just looks incoherent and messy.

 You can add examples of your work in the portfolio section. 

Otherwise, yes, shorten the overview and explain why people would hire you.

Hi Debra,

As per my knowledge, UPWORK didn't allow us to upload any Personal Information. So if you don't have any content information on your website, then only(Maybe) you can upload.

But please take advice from some expert too.

Thanks
