 Jobs/Vacancies / How I Got Interviewed For A Job On Upwork by Jaycobbs(m): 9:45am On Jan 13, 2022 |
I was scrolling through my Upwork feed. I saw a job post for proofreaders and editors. I wrote a proposal and forgot about it. This is the proposal I wrote:  Some days later, the client responds with an invitation for the interview. From Upwork, we moved on to Skype. I got to answer a questionnaire that contained 14 questions. Then they asked even more questions after I submitted the questionnaire. This is how it ended.  Easy peasy. All very easy to do. You only need to know what you're about and stand out as the best. Cheers! Cc davide470 uboma mukina2 13 Likes |

9. Choose an hourly rate As a newbie on Upwork, you can choose anywhere from $15 to $35 per hour.  10. Write a professional title and overview  To make writing your overview easier, search for the top-rated freelancers in your niche and choose an overview that best describes your skills. Then use this as a model to write yours. NOTE: Your overview must be at least 300 words in length. 11. Fill out your residential address details 12. Click on submit If you follow these details, your Upwork profile application would be approved immediately. If you get the message that your profile is under review and that they would get back to you in 48 hours, then you missed a step and will not get approved. You should get an approval notification that looks something like this:  |

If you made it this far, congratulations! You're just getting started with Upwork. There are more details Upwork wants to know about you before granting you access to the Upwork platform. Next, they would ask if you want to speed up your approval process by uploading your LinkedIn profile. To make it easier on everyone, I'll go with 'Fill Out Manually' so we can walk through the process together.  4. Choose your category, sub-category and select your skills.   For the skills stage, you can add up to ten skills to your profile. You should use up all the options to add skills to your profile, even though you may not be very strong in those areas. This improves your chances of getting approved. 5. Select your skill level Project yourself in the best possible light. Everyone wants to work with an expert. So pick 'Expert' here 6. Add education It is important in filling out your profile that you try to fill out all the fields in the form. This gives you preference in the Upwork algorithm. 7. Add past work experience It does not matter how irrelevant you think this may be to your chosen niche on Upwork. Choose your brand name as your company and state how long you've been working as a freelancer in your niche if you do not have any white collar or corporate job experience. 8. Choose your language Select Native or Bilingual as this is the highest English proficiency level on Upwork. |

Christmas chicken has nearly removed the willingness to finish creating this guide. But let's get to it. As you will see, I'll be doing this primarily with a mobile phone. Although it feels a bit different, it is quite possible to be a successful freelancer using your mobile phone. If you are in a niche like mine (writing), you can quite easily make money online using your phone. Here are the steps to creating an approved Upwork account. 1. Navigate to the Upwork website, upwork.com Click on 'Sign Up'.  2. Fill in your details as required. Click on 'Create My Account' as soon as you're done.  3. Verify your account Upwork would send you a confirmation email. Click on the 'Verify Account' button to proceed. You should get something like this:   You should see something like this afterward:  |

I paid 9k to learn this about a year ago. Today, I've earned over $1000 on Upwork. It is chicken change to some people as I know some freelancers like FunnyDude make that in under a week. But you cannot begin to earn money on Upwork if you do not have an Upwork account. But before I begin, what is Upwork anyway? You may be asking, Why should I care about needing an Upwork account? Upwork is a freelancing platform where clients (job givers) come to search for freelancers (job seekers) to carry out tasks for them remotely. Upwork takes a cut of 20% for each successfully completed contract between job giver and job seeker. Do you have a skill like graphic design, web development, digital marketing, video creation, programming, tutoring, or writing? If it is something that could be done remotely, you will find all sorts of clients on Upwork willing to pay you in hard currency for you to complete a job for them. But getting approved on the platform is quite a tedious process. I did not get it right the first time I tried it and Upwork rejected me. If you do it right, you will get approved the moment you submit your application to Upwork. It is true that a lot of online platforms do not like Nigerians today, but you do not need to project yourself as someone you are not to get approved on Upwork. You also do not need a foreign account to get jobs on Upwork. I'm going to be showing you the steps (with pictures) to get approved on Upwork. Stay tuned. cc puskin naijacutee FOD dominique |

If I were you, I'd do myself a favor and not look for a quick fix to this alcohol problem. Anyone selling you any fast solution to this would only land you in more trouble. Your problem didn't spring up in one day and therefore, cannot be fixed in one day. Secondly, nature abhors a vacuum. If you're removing alcohol, you gotta be putting in something else. I know of recovering smoking addicts who took to chewing gum to help counteract the effects. But it's easier to wean yourself off of chewing gum than cigarettes. Get productive with your life, get your mind off the bottle, and focused on work and your increasing family. Maybe you can carry around a bottle of water to take a swig from any time you get the urge. That would have the added benefit of cleansing your body system. Thirdly, your addiction is only a symptom of a bigger problem. You have known about alcohol for at least five years and you didn't get addicted all this time. So, what changed? It's as much a mental battle as it is physical. Fourthly, get professional help, or join an online community. A Google search can help you with this. Nobody better to help you than someone who's been there and beaten the addiction. 4 Likes |

Hathor5: They were asked about what they would change, not what they loved about raising their children. So of course, the focus is on their mistakes. It doesn't mean their motherhood was all gloomy and doomy |

It is blindingly obvious to me that all the people on this thread in support of going the baby mama route don't have any experience whatsoever in it. Their entire argument is based solely on assumptions gotten by reading other Nairalanders' comments or from Twitter. Let someone with real experience come out and the rest should just get out. You people are vexing me. 1 Like |

If you don't know that guy standing right there, that's Kenny Blaq, a popular Nigerian comedian. I remember hearing the name vaguely in the past, but it never really interested me enough to go looking for him. But I stumbled upon one of his video clips a few days ago and I have to say, the guy is really good. Now, why have I slapped his face on the front page of my post? Kenny is a comedian, but he doesn't do standup like every other person in the comedy industry. Growing up, I was a fan of comedians like AliBaba, KlintDaDrunk, Princess and the likes, but they all have different ways of telling jokes, different brand of jokes they enjoy, different topics they enjoy speaking on and different ways of delivering punchlines. There are voices in industries in every phase of life that are highly recognizable. You may not see their faces, but the moment the voice comes on, you can say with utter certainty who it belongs to. That's what your aim should be. What's your speaking voice and what's your writing voice? Are you humorous? Informative? Are you a storyteller and entertainer? Or are you the person who is best at one-liners? Maybe you prefer to talk in short, clipped sentences that drive home the point with as little fuss as possible. Whoever you are, however you define yourself, make sure you stick with it. If you are Kenny Blaq today, Helen Paul tomorrow and Gordons on Friday next week, your customers and clients would not be able to build that trust that is needed to move a business forward. To find your speaking, writing and branding voice, you need to define who you are and what you stand for. Unfortunately, most people live with an identity crisis because they are busy copying everything and everyone that catches their fancy without regard as to whether it strengthens or weaken their overall image both as a brand and as a person. Avoid that mistake, and you will send a much stronger message to the people who are around you. #COPIED FROM MY DIARY |
| Sports / Re: Tyson Fury: I Will Knock Anthony Joshua Out Within Two Rounds by Jaycobbs(m): 5:54am On Jan 05, 2021 |
AJ is an unpredictable fighter. One of the things that makes him dangerous is that he has no set fighting tactic that opponent can observe and fight against. He could come at you with heavy punches or fancy footwork. Fury is also a formidable fighter. He's very, very fast. He has great upper body movement. Watch his fights. You'll see him avoiding blows while standing face to face with his opponent, and without bringing his arms up in defence. He'll twist and turn under everything. He's also one hell of a tactician. We can see how he readjusted his fighting skill, second time around with Wilder. Make no mistake about it. Wilder was as dangerous as advertised, and his "get-out-of-jail" right-hand doesn't have a match. What Fury succeeded in doing was make that right hand useless by fighting in close range with Wilder (the right hand is a long-range weapon and Wilder uses it by allowing it to gather momentum, before it crashes down on the head of his opponents). Fury also knocked Wilder down several times, which hadn't ever happened in Wilder's career. There are both physical and psychological effects to that. Fury spent a good amount of time in the second fight leaning his body weight on Wilder, and depleting his energy reserves considerably. Add to the fact that the stupid Wilder had worn a 40-pound bronze costume before the fight -- unnecessary weight he didn't need. I'm breaking down the Wilder-Fury fight because it shows Fury at his best. It would be detrimental to dismiss Fury as babbling idiot. He plays and preys on his opponents psychologically with talks like this before every match. And it has worked for him Even though Fury is not as decorated as AJ, I respect him very much. AJ is good. Very good. And unpredictable, which is an advantage. But I'll still put the odds on Fury, 55% to AJ's 45%. 8 Likes 1 Share |
