Hi Gurus,
I have Updated my profile as suggested, but still not getting any response or Job. What else I need to update more to get a Job. As I am new to Upwork so I can't show any Upwork experience or review on my profile.
What is missing in my profile or in my bidding?
My Bidding is finished so should I purchase Paid Bids?

The decision if you should go for a paid membership or not is entirely yours. It is, in the end, one of many business decisions you need to make as a freelancer.
You could have a perfect and inviting profile and wonderful proposals, you still are competing with maybe 500000, probably more, other freelancers looking for similar jobs. Out of those, only 10% have any earnings yet. This is the reality you find yourself in.
In order to succeed in this environment, you need a strong sense of self-marketing and have the necessary skills to provide excellent services. Work on that.
