How to land a job as a VA/PA on Upwork with a testimonial from a previous client ?

[bettymwenda]

Hello, What do clients look for in a virtual assistant currently? I have worked in a similar position before and my contract ran for a year. However, during that time I was not applying for other jobs. After completing my contract, I am back searching for a job, and it feels like the industry changed or there is something I am doing wrong. Any help on this will be much appreciated. Thank you

Hi Betty ,

Here are some tips I learnt from people ahead.

Optimize your summary to what is current.

List your skills and all you have to offer .

Use your strongest and clear tasks for your portfolio ( Since you just ended a contract,pick some of your most beautiful tasks and use them for your portfolio).

Write Clear and concise proposals, Always read through and talk about what the client wants in your proposal.

Keep trying your best.
