I am very disappointed

[b325d7f4]

I am very tired of the fact that there are just too many scam jobs on Upwork. I am a guy who collects money by delivering pizzas to my city. I collect money and I spend it on connects to apply for different jobs but all I get is no response or a job asking me to invest money. I have sent over 24 proposals but nothing! What should I do? Should I kill myself?  I have been doing it for over 2 years now. Why Upwork does not take a stand for any of these Job Scammers? Please tell me, who should I talk to?

Hi Muhammad,

I can understand your frustration about not hearing back from clients. It is not always a guarantee that when you submit a proposal, you will be hired for the job; however, by continuously doing so, you'll increase your likelihood of getting the opportunity to have an interview and, hopefully, into a contract. We know that writing a cover letter can sometimes be overwhelming, especially if you're new to it. Think of it as a way to stand out from the crowd and showcase what's unique about your skills to specifically highlight how you're a good fit for a particular job or project.

Here are a few resources that may help you learn more and improve your proposal writing skills:

• Submitting Proposals Academy Course
• Talent Toolbox: Proposals Deep Dive with Upwork Coaches Event Recording
• How to Create a Proposal That Wins Jobs
