UPWORK TIPS _ HOW TO GET HIRED QUICKLY_ PROFILE AND COVER LETTER TIPS by MOMMY RUTH

On today's video , we are going to cover upward tips , how to get hired right away .

These are the ones that are most effective without further ado .

Let's get started .

Hey mom , she it's Mommy Ruth and welcome to another freelancing video here in my channel .

I have a new video every Monday .

So if you're into freelancing being a mom and all of those things just consider subscribing .

First one is how to customize your profile .

And the second one is how to create your coverage more and bonus step is how to filter your job search or clients .

So let's start with the profile .

OK ?

So for the profile , the first thing that you need to make sure of is you are a verified user .

I just like us when we are applying the , we look at our , we look at our clients , verified clients basil that means or bogus client .

So you clients , then they wanna see that badge .

Now you are a very freelancer , you bogus freelancer .

So that's one of the things , it's like a stamp at the side of your profile here .

Blue check .

That means you have been verified your identity mode and all of that .

So how to get that blue check mark beside your name ?

Ok .

So I'm gonna show you here .

So if you go to upwork approved account , go here a picture .

My settings click on settings and after you click on settings , you go here , identity verification and what it will do since I've already identified myself or verified myself .

What you will do when the first thing is they will ask for a valid ID .

After they , you send your valid ID , they're gonna ask for your selfie and they're going to verify based on your picture and your selfie that was you .

So it will take less than an hour to do it .

So do it .

Number one .

OK .

This is profile profile .

So basically , but aside from the over letter or additional resume for each client uh Facebook profile more so here .

Yeah , and you can see everything there .

I'm not going to go into details of this profile .

What I'm just going to share with you is how to make it effective .

So is a summarized tips on this video .

So if you want me to do a detailed tutorial on the different parts of profiles , let me know on the comments .

I could also make that for you .

So of course , number one picture and then after that , no questions from where you are your name and then this is the profile settings .

That's where you could edit this part and then is um video video or if you have an existing video about yourself , put it here , especially if you are video editor .

OK ?

So that's the first step .

Um again , verify a user and then add a video of you , answer all these pictures , uh these questions and also add a picture of yourself and then profile , profile of the different services that I offer to my clients .

So general profile all work .

So as you can see at the organic youtube growth , genius expert level , the way I title this is I also base it on the job posting app or I feel like um words for my niche or I use the exact words that they're using so that when they search for a or a freelancer , since they're already using these words .

So that's an seo hack eo it's one of the skills , high paying jobs are freelancing seo .

So youtube feed eo some websites or some blogs .

So yeah .

So anyways , as you can see , I have three different three different profiles .

This one is for video editing and this one is for content strategy .

OK .

So this is um something uh about SEO and content and um different ways to make sure that you youtube more um will grow organically .

So that is my expertise .

So for you , if you want to create different things , like if you want to be a va you can create one specific profile for being in a va and if you want to do , for example , video editing , you can do another profile for video editing .

So it actually it doesn't matter , you're gonna need to sell all the work for me because um I think you're gonna put in a new service you think .

And so just do it there .

For example , like like to a specific job , just a job .

I I had no experience and skills more on , for example , say for the other things they don't need to know about that .

They didn't , they don't like for me because of video editing profile code , they don't need to know when I was a flight attendant .

They don't need to know that I was a registered nurse .

So all they need to know is I have a fast turn around and I'm a detailed obsessed video editor for final cut pro .

So you know titles are in profile and how much I charge for it .

So yeah , and then my samples very important to my mom , sample , sample sample sale .

OK ?

Anyway example , in anything that you have , OK .

So for example , I do video editing also and to have a one more step up to this level up version , if you could create your own website with your show real or show real is among a legit and more professional video editors , they usually have a show reel .

So you could put that on your site , you could put testimonials in the clients and all of that .

And I'm working towards making my own website in the future .

But as for now , this is what I have .

And one more thing that you can do is if you can upload it , here's a portfolio , just click on the plus upload on video or pictures or documents .

And for example , is on Google Drive , sale pictures of portfolio at the same time , Google drive folder , sample work , for example , I know graphics editor , sample graphics or sample for social media or sample articles for clients .

And for yourself put it in a folder , a Google drive that you could share when you do your application and also put it here .

So do me a profile me run a Google drive bucket .

You share em as we go along the cover letter hacks .

OK ?

So I add , so that is uh for the profile .

So as you can see here , Ian that long classing profile depends on you I add and then let's see history within the progress jobs .

And are you gonna be a va are you gonna be a writer ?

Are you gonna be a graphics editor app ?

And since I do uh final cut pro video editing , youtube development , Seo youtube script writing and all of that curriculum development .

So seo uh project catalog , I , I just don't mind with this one and OK , so uh employment history outside and other experiences .

So I it myself is um English language .

Are you a native speaker ?

Or bilingual or communication requirements , not specific for this location .

So these are very important ones to take note as well aside from everything that I have already said .

OK , so moving on , that's for the profile and it's very important once again to get your identity verified cover letter , tips , letter .

So is some note or letter clients when they are hiring ?

So for example , make some job at up , I'm gonna show you my screen .

OK ?

OK .

So for example , to find work it , click find work up and then um open jobs .

OK ?

So you have to click submit proposal .

So submit proposal letter or it's required to apply for a letter or add cover letter , profile , automatic , add an additional thing that you can do to stand out from all the applicants is add letter .

So when you add the letter to the hiring manager and I saw your ad skills and check me out .

So and then you submit a proposal but tip number one B is specific .

So , but when you put you submit proposal , put on job details and you can also see it here .

So sometimes a graphic designer .

So this is a letter , you have to use this exact same words to describe the uh job also , how you can help .

So that part is specific generic and you have cover letter , obviously generic copy application .

So you have to tweak it , you have to tweak it in every and each application .

OK ?

The next tip is follow instructions .

OK ?

Hiring managers they will put here right ?

I am human on top of your application so that I know that you read all throughout .

So application .

So , so follow instruction , OK ?

Next step is show samples that are relevant to the job ad .

For example , this job ad is , let's say is for a real estate company sample for a vlog or a sample for a documentary .

A is a sample not a real state home .

Samples are real state , anything that made .

So for example , I can do this is a sample of my video of a house to I know it's not real state but it's a little bit .

So this is how I do edit for that .

So at least you know , in this application , you know what it means like .

So the next tip is keep it simple , keep it straight to the point and simple .

Uh first special instructions and then um hi , I'm a video editor for six years .

Um That's my template .

Um uh I have a youtube channel explanation .

So keep in mind these hiring managers or these clients , they really don't spend a lot of time reading through all the applications , especially if 120 80 applications per job .

So keep it straight to the point a bullet .

Now what you are skilled in and how you can help solve their problem .

So you could also say , for example , um you will say these are my uh other job experience in these uh types of problems .

Like for example , we had a job post before for experts and we have a problem in and then I have experience working with here are the samples of my work I have experience in this and this is a sample of my work I have experience in this and this is a sample of my work or I have skills in this , this this work you are spending or points .

So amount of connects like some of them are six connects .

Four .

It depends on the client but verified client or projects are up , work , projects , up work must not ask you to apply for their job .

That means most , most likely legit client .

So going more you cover letter more um and point is make sure .

So letter I'm available uh This time , let's say 9 to 12 midnight plus eight GMT Philipp in time on a daily basis if you want to discuss or if you want to see if I'm a fit a good fit to your team or to your project .

Um or you could chat me if you prefer a different time .

That's one trick that I do to make sure that they reply to me because every time that they reply to me , I will then get more connects in my account , more scores where I could apply to more jobs .

So I work as a point .

So every application will make sure .

So the only way that you will get another point is by next month and also if replies .

So and you always say a cover letter and feel free to contact me .

Should you have any questions or let me just entice them to reply to you ?

Because every time they reply to you , you get points .

Ok ?

Speaking of , by the way , so $12 is $80 .

So I I use a letter before I , I share a sample script uh that I do for my cover letters , which is very effective , I think compared to the first cover letter , like you know , when I first started , I want to share with you um is a one , number one reason is if you understand the brief , understand young post and point out in your cover letter , how can you specifically help them ?

So there's anything that you would remember in this video or how to do your cover letter , this is it understand the problem and on your cover letter , make sure that you point out how you can help them with their problem by saying your experience or by saying I know how to do this or by saying I am um skilled in that uh expertise or I can do that but anything like that , but it has to be specific , I need to know that there is a job a so that's it .

I'm gonna share with you now on my screen , a sample script that has been very effective with me .

OK ?

I do have a lot of scripts and have basic script code so effective and so straight to the point is this one ?

Let me check .

Yeah , so , so this is how it is .

I have to add additional details if I copy paste because I have to uh yeah and then I have to pass to my .

So I Yeah , so I have been editing with final card for six years is a link to my earlier where you could put in your sample uh videos I know about about my youtube channels and and should I be selected to join your team ?

I would like to learn and grow my skills .

Let's go ahead and have a chat if you want to see if I'm the right fit for your business .

So here I'm encouraging them to chat me up because when they chat me up , I get connects and it doesn't have schedule .

I'm also available for Zoom meetings online .

They leave from nine pm to 12 a.m. midnight and you can go ahead and message me if you prefer another time .

Thanks .

So this is very straight to the point .

And if I could add anything , if I need to add anything here , this is where I will put that addition .

This is where I will put specific things , videos or some job post .

For example , it's a documentary um job post .

So here , I could say I have been working with a documentary client on this channel .

So here see it do that and you answer additional questions , maybe more additional questions because you never like this one .

So if they have additional questions , make sure that you answer them .

Um but answer um pattern is always like giving the answer and then giving a sample if possible .

So it's more enticing that we can say is the key word of the day .

OK .

So OK , here are my bones tips and I think oh OK , bonus steps app .

So the best things that I've learned online and I have applied and very effective is this one ?

Make sure now .

So I say in average , a client will just look at the first step .

So whenever I'm searching for a job , I will click on here , let's look at my screen , the advance search filter filter by .

So it's a filter by is less than 10 and 5 to 10 .

So for example , I'm looking for video editing job .

Yeah , and video editor and eight hours ago , 37 minutes ago , so much more likely um application .

So I had 11 hours ago , 12 hours ago , I had so this is really amazing my mom , she's efforts about applying .

So or your effort goes about any interview also , for example , this 1 37 minutes ago , click on the job ad and after you click that activity on this job , a proposal and then last viewed by client 24 minutes ago , actively looking , but three days ago , five days ago and the interviewing is , you know , so this is , this is one of the best ways to filter .

And so if you want to make your job search more efficient and must level on this video , there is one more thing that you can do , you could uh download app work on your app or on your phone .

My app work .

Yeah .

OK .

So as you can see how I go and jobs , usually I use this for chats and also I use this for looking for jobs .

You could also filter this .

OK ?

So when you're searching a job here , just click on search and search bar and then you click either start by new , you can also do by category if you want uh a here .

I always just make sure uh at less than five and 5 to 10 , 10 to 15 if you are risky and then just click on apply and then the key word maybe I want to search youtube , seo or youtube .

OK .

So one hour ago posted five minutes ago .

So you can see everything related to youtube and available in the market because it means I like for me if your is like video editing updated , for example , and I could just use my phone to search for jobs .

You know , how about , you know , doing something else like skin care jobs ?

So you and you way to always be alert a hiring and to be the first one to so hopefully this video has helped you inspired you and moved you to your next gig on upwork .

So I hope it , it makes sense .

But personally , it's been really effective because , you know , after three days what happened in , so I need to do something else to make sure application go , just don't give up for the first few weeks and months , just tweak and tweak and anything apply and apply to your profile and then also apply and apply to different jobs .

Just push through , you know , at least say try again , just try give up .
