How to search for the right job?
You have to search for the jobs that are looking for “Entry Level” workers. Such jobs don’t get paid more but you are more likely to get hired for such jobs.
Even when you apply in such roles, it is very important to consider that there are many of them submitting proposals to get hired.
What is the right job?
You can get started to look up job roles for data entry officers, virtual assistants, and several more if you don’t have any other skills. There are thousands of jobs open on Upwork for such roles.
And several thousand apply for such roles every day.
In selecting the job to submit the proposal, you must consider the following:

- The job shouldn’t have more than 5 submitted proposals
- Ensure that no one is being interviewed
- A payment method “verified” is more reliable and genuine work

You must develop reliability with the client in writing the proposal.
Your proposal needs to make them believe that you have read all their requirements (not just the job role) and you have confidence in taking the role. Explain the knowledge that you have regarding that field and
If they already have mentioned the hourly price in the offering, then you just take the least value (say $4-$5/hr then take $4).
I’ve written a post about the proposal that landed me on my first job.
What’s next?
If the client is interested in you, then you might be asked to appear in an interview (textual, oral, or video-based). If you keep up your confidence and answer his/her questions, then you may be offered a job.
Accept the offer and you’re hired.
If you’re on an hourly based work, it will be monitored via the desktop app. It will continuously send the screenshots to the Upwork and you can even see them in your work diary.
Your performance on the work will solely determine if you get your contract extended. You need to maintain a good relationship with the client to get a good review of the work. That will help you to get more works on Upwork.
