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 .
