I'm having a little bit more trouble than I thought.
The interviews I had didn't pan out. Which is fine, but one thing IS bothering me.
The guy I did the work for didn't give me any feedback. I gave him feedback and he hasn't been on Upwork since. A bit frustrating, as more and more jobs are requiring a feedback score. I thought that having a job under my belt would make things easier but with no feedback I'm still at Step 1... or even Step 0 because people see 1 job with no feedback and possibly see risk.
I'm gonna use my remaining connects, make an individual cover letter (no templates) for each person, and see how well that turns out. What I need is feedback. That's the real validation.
Did you ask for feedback?
I've never received feedback without asking.
Usually I mention that I'm leaving 5 star feedback because I enjoyed working for them. Then I ask if they'll leave feedback for me so other clients know I'm a legitimate freelancer that delivers high-quality work. This works especially well if you get them to agree that they like your work prior to asking for feedback since they feel compelled to be consistent with the statement they already made.
