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!

Hi everyone, my name is Gio and I'm a VA with strong operational experience, digital marketing, and project management experience. I'm not sure how these forums work but figured I'd post in here since Upwork is sending me emails to do so! 

I'm starting to get overflow of client work so if anyone has experience with virtual admin services, or social media marketing, content planning, or paid ads feel free to send me a message.

[0e45d9ba]

[giopasquale]

Hi Shurmeen, I don't have extra work at the moment but I sent you a friend request and if there is an opportunity in the future I will send you a message

[8b62f211]

hello sir, just created my account. Im wondering if you have any work that I could handle as a beginner? Thank you so much

[giopasquale]

Hi Kristel, I don't have extra work at the moment but if you make your profile public, it will allow me to add you as a friend on upwork. That way if I do have extra work in the future I can contact you

[ada2422d]

Hello,

May you tell me more about the type of work the client want

Regards

Hello I'm Eldana and I'm looking for as an entry level job. I've dedications to do any work.

[fece0a74]

Similarly to the situations of Shurmeen S and Kristel A, if you have any tasks related to electrical work, programming PLC HMI, data entry in Google Spreadsheets, or any other tasks, I am quick to assist with a variety of responsibilities. I am available for work, despite having a new account on Upwork, while also bringing experience from the local market

Hi Gio, I have over 2 years VA / digital marketing with over 8 years of project management so happy to stay on your list if you have overflow on projects. Thanks! -Lisa
