Bivon,

 

I won't be able to provide guidance via WhatsApp and I'd like to note that sharing contact information isn't allowed by our Community Guidelines. But if you're looking for more resources and guidance, I encourage you to check out the Academy page where you'll find helpful videos, courses and articles

Hello and welcome. Good luck. Before you apply to any jobs, please read this and never communicate with anyone off of Upwork until after a contract has been set up. And do not apply to any jobs that ask you to contact on WhatsApp, Telegram, by phone, or through email. They are almost certainly scams. And know that when you see "Payment verified" on the post. that DOES NOT mean the client or the post is legitimate or that they can really pay. The only way you are truly protected in getting paid is by using the hourly time tracker.https://community.upwork.com/t5/Community-Blog/Top-Red-Flags-for-Scams-From-Community-Member-Wes-C/b...
