I just hired a guy on @Upwork who tells me he is not only an Upwork newbie – but it’s his FIRST DAY on the platform. Goes to show you – you don’t have to have a ton of Upwork experience, you just have to prove you’re the right person for the job.
Hopefully that will inspire you to apply for a few jobs you might otherwise pass up 😎
