My name is Caline Jaber, i am an undergraduate law student in Lebanon. I am a determined hard worker and I enjoy helping people to achieve their goals. However, i believe that helping people achieve their own goals will eventually lead me to achieve mine too. I have a very high patience and i am ready to give my time to help students evolve. In addition, I’ve helped several students with their projects and homeworks.

How do I get my first job? I have applied to more than 50 jobs, but I haven't received any responses, and my proposals are being viewed.

Mehtab,

If your proposals are being viewed, it means the client isn't finding on your Profile what they are seeking.

Please reformat your Summary into four short informative paragraphs and remove the emoticons.

Hello, I recently joined Upwork. I have submitted 7 to 8 proposals, but I haven't found a job until now. How can I find a job? Please help me, thank you

You need to keep sending proposals and send quality proposals, Try to be in the top four so the client could see your proposal, and make sure the first two lines should be the attention seeker for the client. Talk about the project or the solution to the client's problem.
Be active in the community. 
Wish you good luck.

I see your profile and you need to add some descriptions that reflect your skills adn use of proper keywords and tags as well. 
Also, upload your own profile picture. 
Add some portfolio. 
content writer but the language level is set to basic. 
There are so many things you need to change.

the key to getting your first job is mainly your proposal, you have to learn to write a winning proposal with the right hook so you can grab the client's attention, also the more you learn about the proposal and profile optimization the more you get work
