Tips for finding that first job

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:

 

 

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!

Check with Hugo in Welcome to Upwork thread.

He is a representative of Upwork.

To all Community Members who have not received a (job) project.

Create your cover letters by remembering how you are able to increase the profit of your client.

Of course you benefit you too.

Perhaps you could investigate your own profile

Clients will hire you within the 1st (2) sentences

Make sure your profile is All about the client and to help them make $$
