  • the client has invited other freelancers.
  • The client account is newly created (less than a week).

Juan,

You need to write three times as much. Why? Clients are hiring a person and they need time to get to know you a bit. Don't tell them you're a cat lover -- stick to describing your services and your experiences. But just add more so folks can feel they've spent some time with you. It will help.

Hello,

 

I am a new freelance RPA developer from Rochester NY.  I am looking for some RPA work in order to move smoothly into retirement as I was recently downsized from a major corp.  Having been downsized, I do not have a development environment as that was corporately delivered.  I have experience with Microsoft Power Automate, but I would like to learn UIPath.  My current home enviroment is a laptop with a bad keyboard, Windows 10 Home , i5 processor, and 8 gig of RAM. 

I figure I will really need to upgrade to start working in either environment. 

 

Any suggestions?

Hello!

I'm Khaoula Abrougui from Tunisia, a seasoned Research Professor with over a decade of expertise in copy writing, copy editing, proofreading, transcription and translation services Arabic-French-English.

 

Interacting with other members can help me identify areas for skills improvement. I may seek advice on refining my expertise and learn new techniques and tools from more experienced freelancers. Building connections with other freelancers, clients, and Upwork staff can open doors to new opportunities.

Sharing my work with other members can garner feedback and constructive criticism. This can help me improve my services, and enhance my portfolio.

Overall, engaging with other members on Upwork can be a valuable part of my freelance journey, offering opportunities for learning, growth, and collaboration.

 

Seeing fellow freelancers achieve success on the platform can be inspiring. Their stories of overcoming challenges, building thriving businesses, and landing high-profile clients can motivate me to strive for similar achievements. Also reading testimonials and success stories from satisfied clients can inspire me to deliver exceptional work and provide excellent service. My own aspirations and goals can serve as a source of inspiration!

Ultimately, my inspiration on Upwork may stem from a combination of external factors such as successful peers and clients, as well as internal factors such as personal goals and aspirations.

 

Best regards!
