100% already successfully completed if you go into your profile You're gonna see here that appears your profile. I'm gonna go into find work so you can see how this my

But it's also about how do you apply for in a specific job

And that's why we want to take a look into the cover letter

If you don't know what I'm actually telling you, let's say for example here that this one is a music single song creator

Hi, I'm looking for someone to make me a to music video jingle song That is all my own so I can use it on social media without having to worry about copyright stuff

I want to sound happy and mellow. Here are a few examples Go into more select here the

Jingle and go into submit a proposal So once I have here my proposal if you scroll all your way down

It's gonna be asking like what are your terms? How would you like to get paid

That's the fee how we're gonna be receiving the attachment and the cover letter the cover letter

It's the most most most important part when you're sending a proposal here into artwork

so this is the reason why I'm gonna be telling just five tips five things to avoid and

first of all you first of all you want to actually Don't use this words

Why you don't want to use this word words because if you use this word into your cover letter the people who are gonna be

hiring different Freelancers if you add this titles if you add this keywords the chances to get hired into artwork are

Extremely low so you actually want to be considered like a great professional freelancer here into artwork, right

So you don't want to use this word you want to avoid of course and especially you don't want to use new

You want to say something like a little bit more different if you want to say that this is the first time that you are

Working into for example some restaurant photos you want to input something like I do work with

social media and Entertainment posts and fees and feeds although Restaurants are not like my expertise

Fields I do love Cooking I do love I this is the way that we want to create a good cover letter

We want to empathize with the person now the second thing to avoid is input something like I

Totally understood your requirements or your rules You want to say that I mean this is like not the time to say that you totally understood the requirements

But it's also not the time to say that you have some questions

So this is the reason why you want to avoid this to

Phases here because if they understand that you know everything they are actually not willing to

help you with any issues that you might be having about the Professional and if you have some questions

They actually might be a little bit annoyed because this is not the time to

Say that you have some questions Let's say that I do want to know if no no no you don't want to input this you want to delete this and let's

Say that you just want to schedule it and interview or like zoom call

it's gonna be much more faster and in there if You get a zoom call or whatever video conferences you get you might be having more chances to get hired and now in that

Video chat in that call from soon, whatever you name is it you can't ask

As much questions as you can and they will be just more than happy to answer all your questions

But you don't want to add that into your cover letter because they just will be really really really really annoyed

You don't want to sound like a robot like as I just told you in the first tip

I mean, this is something that most of people do here into artwork

They create like a draft. So let's say that you create like a template

So this this is the correct Way to say it. Hello there. I just saw your post. I think I'm a right person for the job

Here are my skills contact me. This is total a total a total

Scam as you can see actually here. I'm not for sure if I saw this into artwork. I do saw this into all this

Website, but there are actually a lot of people who create a cover letter like this. Hello there

I just had this post here are my skills a little black hunting me They are not gonna be treating you like if you're a real person actually just not even going to finish you wrote it to read it

You're gonna say oh my god, this is annoying and will be choosing something else because this guy is actually not real

That's the reason why you want to empathize with a person you are sending the proposal

If you know what's the name of this guy put it in there If you don't know actually what's the name of that guy I'm gonna see the view of the post

I want to look for the client. I want to see if I can find some information about the client or

Let's say that I want to look for the reviews Client recent history great flying would definitely to work with her again at the future

So now that I know that this is a girl with her again in the future

To freelancer Ricky M as you can see here, actually I can see that into the post

It says Katie. So I want to go and use the first name

Dear Katie or hey there. So thank you so much for reading my cover letter. So it's more

Really? It's more personal. It's more empathizer and you are not a robot

so and people clients love to have like welcome with their first name

That's because I do love to hire a lot of people into up work and I love that people say to me like hey Steven

this is what you've been looking for is this what you've been looking for and Actually to make this just a little bit more easy for you
