Fine Tuning Your Job Search Game
5 Costly Mistakes to Avoid
Winton Churchill & Yvette Vink
September 20, 2024
Welcome Freelancer!
Too many freelancers scream, “I can’t find any jobs on Upwork that are a good fit for me!”
In my experience this is points to a very specific problem with a “search strategy.”
The jobs are there, right at your finger tips.
Your challenge is you haven’t created your personalized search strategy that brings the very best jobs, that fit your skills and domains of knowledge, to your screen…
Every day there are between 150,000 to 250,000 open assignments on Upwork.
As a practical matter you can only screen a tiny number of those in a day.
This coming Tuesday night, let’s take control of your job search!
I’ll be sharing my secrets with you on how to zero in on the right keywords, save time with smart searches, and reserve your energy by bidding only on the jobs that matter.
Cut through the noise and gain the clarity you need to find the perfect opportunities fast!
Now, here’s the weekly round up from the Barefoot Consultants world!
See you next week,
Winton
What's inside this week...
Productivity Tool of the Week
The Upwork and ChatGPT apps help you ensure you remain productive, even while you’re out-and-about living your fun freelancer lifestyle.
The Upwork app allows you to get instant alerts for job invites and messages, and quickly scan new postings from wherever you are.
When you combine that with the ChatGPT app you have the additional power of AI at your fingertips, helping you refine proposals, brainstorm ideas, and even create social media posts or images on the go.
Using these two tools as a “team”, freelancers can stay ahead of the competition, making job searches fun, simple, and efficient, no matter what you’re up to!
Download the Upwork for Freelancers App from the iTunes App Store, or the Google Play Store. |  Get the ChatGPT Mobile App HERE |
