Hey Mirchu,
Try bidding on the ones with lower budgets and clients looking for entry-level freelancers. Once you get multiple 5-star reviews, you can proceed with the higher-budget projects. That'll give your future clients a boost of confidence in your abilities.
I hope this helps and wish you all the best.
Kind regards,
Christian

Shifat,
Most of your Profile is fine, but you need to change your photo. Click here to review the requirements for Selecting a Profile Photo.
It has been difficult for some freelancers to get responses to their proposals. After you change your photo, keep applying for jobs that match your qualifications by writing great cover letters.

Hi Shifat,
I believe what Clark's trying to explain is as a freelancer, your profile picture has to accurately represent who you are, it obviously shouldn't be a photo of a place, a design, or object, or someone or something else (also, misrepresenting who you are, goes against our Terms of Service.)
I've pulled a few resources that may be helpful to you. Check out these articles to help you create a profile that stands out and improve your profile title and overview. For some great tips on writing proposals that win jobs, check out this article.

I am a new user here in Upwork, anyone can advice me what types of work is needed to be done here? I need someone who can assist me

For you (judging from your profile), I'd recommend VA. You look presentable, and your English should be that "basic." (You're Pinay, I don't know why you say your English is basic. All schools in the Philippines teach English first, then Tagalog, Cebuano, etc.)
Try to search for other VAs on Upwork and see what they offer and try to offer a similar service. Then, distinguish yourself by niching down to a specific type of VA, like CEO Assistant, SEO Agency VA, etc.

Hi Freelancers
I'm happy to be a part of Upwork community and to be one of the future freelancer. Although I'm new and have much to learn. But one thing that I'm sure is that the key to getting the first project is consistency and staying motivated... Working in the right direction.
So I thought of starting a discuss where you could give advise or share experiences by which I could learn and grow my profile in becoming an expert freelancer.
Looking forward to hear some fruitful advice. Thanks!
