Tips for finding that first job

[#1]

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!

Your rates should be comparable to other lawyers hourly rates in Egypt. Your area is a bit challenging as laws differ between countries so i'm not sure if you can sell your services globally. Someone must need a lawyer in egypt and they have to be outside egypt to use your services. That market may not be so big.

Actually, I don't offer the common services Egyptian lawyers offer. I am specialized in international law. International contracts, international construction contracts. It is a niche.

Hi there 

I am new here and using upwork platform to provide tutuoring service to the students living in different part of the world

I have submitted many proposal to the client but unable to get any orders . Actually I want to attach with a client through upwork who provides tutoring services to the student is his country. Can anyone guide me about it. It will be very helpful for me 

[#11]

The only way to work with clients through Upwork is by submitting proposals. Competition is fierce on Upwork, so receiving invites or getting jobs after proposal submission is a challenge--even for some Top-Rated and Top-Rated Plus freelancers.

You may want to join the Upwork Engineering Group to collaborate with other freelancers, some of which are in mathematics, engineering and electronics fields.

hi, 

Unfortunately, I didn't earn a single dollar on upwork I guess that is why my profile goes to private. Now how I can change It to the public? Can anyone help me there?

I can not afford any membership right now please give me a free solution. 
Thanks for your consideration and your time.
