This week, I've chatted with three different customers on Upwork. Interestingly, I only applied to one of them; the other two found me. Although we had great conversations, we won't be proceeding due to disagreements over pricing and conditions.

Thanks to my updated profile and earned badges, I now have the luxury of choosing the jobs I want. However, just a year ago, I was continuously applying for various positions and sending out proposals but rarely received responses. What has changed since then?

I've decided to share tips and details you can benefit from. When I discussed my situation in an email newsletter, I received numerous responses from you, indicating a strong interest in finding opportunities in Data Science, Machine Learning, or AI.

However there are a lot of things to cover, that might not fit into one article, and it is the process, that has changed constantly. Trust me you will understand what I am talking about. With that said, let’s get started chasing jobs first, to be chased at the end!
