Why is getting a second job as hard as getting the first job?

[colejack22]

Successfully done with my first job and my client also gave me a very good feedback with 5-star ratings, yet I cannot seem to get a new job! It is like I am back to square one again.

It isn't, and you aren't. 

Plus, you are no longer member of the "90% of upwork freelancer that never earned a dime-club" and are a member of the exclusive "10% of upwork freelancers that earned money-club", so that's not bad, is it?
