Tips for finding that first job

[AndreaG]

Hi all,

Welcome to the Upwork Community! We know landing that first contract can be challenging, so we built Upwork Academy and threads like this to help you get started. With a lot of resources and so little time, we wanted to put together some recommendations for you to check out first:

• New to Upwork: Finding Work
• Identifying and communicating your value
• Creating a proposal that wins work

Do you have a specific question or maybe a tip to offer? Reply to this post and share your question, advice, or words of inspiration!

Watch the videos in 15 minutes sections.

Easier to understand.

Scroll to the top of this page

Follow word for word of what the  Moderator - Person who works for Upwork suggests.

If you do not watch the videos - you will never understand what to do.

Upwork, almost all the profiles that appear in this thread are nothing. Are they really approved profiles and can send proposals?
If so, are you accepting anyone who can upload a photo and write a couple of sentences?
They even read the main post to follow the advice given.
You have to do something, this is a disaster.

Good eye opening post, however it should be motivated for the new ones and give them courage so that they should more job done (Lighter note).

Regards.
