Hi,
Thanks for your posting. I reviewed your profile and you need some changes your title. You should write a Web Developer or Graphic Designer. you need to modify your overview also. After that, you write eye catchy cover letter and submit the job hopefully you will win the job.
Thanks to using Upwork!
#happy #freelancing!

I have change everything as you suggested me. I even have submitted different - different eye catchy cover letter for proposals but it doesn't work to me.

I’m having trouble landing my first job as well. I’d really appreciate any profile suggestions.
I have no idea what skills you are offering. Be specific. Create a catchy headline. Portfolio pieces you have any? Tests are always nice.

You know what the matter about not getting job is you don't have work history on upwork profile.
I have only experience on upwork till now is If you don't have a job score, then you'll not eligible for any job!
No matter how strong is your profile, How creative is your portfolio, how eye catchy is your proposal... No one care untill you don't have job score.
People don't care about your unqiue talent... All they need is a work history and job score which newbies on upwork can't get it.
I know this will hurt you, but it's truth about upwork!
Sincerely,
Manmeet Singh
