Post by sohfan » Mon Oct 05, 2020 4:24 pm

Hi,
I'm an Electrical Engineer, 30, I started as a logo designer in 2010 and down the line transitioned towards front end developer and now marketing automation specialist. Never owned a company but worked as a sole proprietor. I have a top rated Upwork profile with 100% success rate and good earnings over past 5 years. I've worked with over 100 clients in past 5 years some still I work for. Trying to go for Talent instead of promise.

Struggling to have Key Criteria 1 or 2

What I have:

2- Upwork Top Rated and 100% success rate with some digital tech Skills
3- Invited twice to UK for training team with the systems implemented
4 - Decent Earnings over last 5 years. (Current annual avg $50k from multiple clients)

Qualifying Criteria 3
How do I demonstrate continuous learning/mastery of new commercial or technical digital skills throughout my career?

2- Projects Completed, clear progression and achievement
3- Evidence of learning processes or tool / Evidence of expertise and maintaining up-to-date knowledge of your sector trends - Youtube learnings mostly

I also have some clients where I've made a huge difference with business and tech automation and now they are making six seven figures a month. But those clients does not have an innovative product (mostly courses). This is why I'm struggling to find out Key Criteria

you may go for key criteria 2 as you mentioned

Invited twice to UK for training team with the systems implemented- you can use this as mentoring provided that it structured manner.

you also mentioned you have doe freelance work- you may share your github/svn/gitlab profile
or
letter from your client for your open source project and these should be outside your work.
