I even view them in my spare time to refresh and see if I can acquire just one more piece of knowledge.

Hi,
I want some work as freelancer so I created account on Upwork. As opening account I received 50 connects and I applied to 7 different jobs, but till today not received any kind of response from any client ( like not even call for interview).
On this platform I am new and I don't know,
Is there any problem in my profile or account?
Why I did not get any job invite for applied job?
And, Why all job require different number of connects?
So, can you please check and let me know what should I have to do for getting job/work on this platform?
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks & regards,
Devang Patel

I have no job for a while. I need a job badly. How to get a job? After last bidding system implementation I don't have a job. I apply but I usually don't use the boosting option. Any advice?

I've been trying to find jobs on Upwork that match my skills, but I'm not getting any invites. It's been a few days, and I see many jobs that fit what I can do. However, I'm facing a big challenge: I have very few connects left, and applying to just one or two jobs could use them all up. So now, I've stopped spending my connects and am waiting for invites instead. It's tough seeing jobs with over 50 proposals already; it feels like I'm wasting my time without enough connects to even try.

I'm feeling the same. It's been a few weeks now, I've applied to lots of jobs, spending money to buy connects, but my proposals are not even getting viewed. (I think 2 in 10 were actually viewed, 1 person got in touch and it happened to be a scam) it's all seeming like a waste of time right now.
