The Freelancer Who Never Gets Hired

I posted my latest work on the ad freelancer site and it just occurred to a significant importance of presenting yourself properly in order to be hired. I have been renting for freelancers more than two years and seen it all. I know the difference between really knowing what you request in relation to acting like you know just to get a job.
Here is the list I had put together for free to ask why they never hired!
Overcharge
To my advantage I'm not totally unaware of the functional web world and that is why I know when someone's bid is too high for the services they seek.
If you know that you are charging way too much for something that you are probably a few hours to do, be fair to his client. Do not overload! If you've gotten away with it after you should feel guilty! Never assume that just because someone wants a certain service, they are completely blind on how long the job will be done and how much do you really put it into it. Do not ask why you did not get hired.
to all
It happens very often honestly. freelancer refers to work done with excessive description of why you should be employed. It's nice to know you're a professional, but it simply means that one thing up: "How is this expert going to cost me?" Although the theory goes that if you complete 10 + year's prize design professional web master, then the client should hire you right off the bat, because they will get an excellent attractive web design for your site. Unfortunately, the public does not see this all the time. They read professional and they see the money walk away from their bank accounts in the company more money. Indeed the client should not go with the cheapest prices, but the client should not depend on the payment too easy, because you are 'professional'! There is a fine line between showing off and just letting your client know, "Hey, look at my work and will speak for itself. I know what I'm doing ."
too cheap
I know I said not too high, but it is also important not to undercharge. If a client sees a very low cost that will be) scream with excitement and rental or B) I wonder how bad your work. As the saying goes: "You get what you pay for" and that fits perfectly in this situation. Customers should check the quality of the person prior to employment. If you know what you should charge fairly. If your price is $ 20 for full custom WordPress theme that is in all honesty is not a good thing.
Where is your portfolio?
I totally hate when that happens. If you do not have a portfolio should not apply to a job advertisement! Never, ever, apply to job without changing the active portfolio goes with it. Your portfolio speaks for you. Depending on your previous work the client can decide if you are creative and know enough to work on what you are looking for. If this is the first time you go to work for the client you should create for your personal stuff to put myself in your portfolio. Either way you should have something in hand. I do not like to freelancers who are related to one of my ads, sound pretty good with reasonable price tag, but never mentioned or displayed their work so far. In other words, do not say: "I read your description, I'm confident that I can do this job for you. I'll charge you $ 500 and it will be done in 2 weeks. Please reply to get started." The first thing I ask is maybe they have their portfolio on their clearance, I'm going to see what I can find? Nothing! * Deny bidder * How do I know if he can deliver what I ask?
I'm sorry, what language you speak?
I do not want to come across as a racist with this. I honestly have nothing against non-English speakers, but it will help a lot more if you know enough English affectedly. I took a risk and will never do it again. If you are a freelancer in the English-speaking site, make sure you understand the requirements of the job ad. Customers expect to work with someone with good work experience, knowledge, and who will communicate with them about the project as it is being worked on. Unfortunately, if English is not your first language as a freelancer you can figure out something different from what the client is trying to tell you. I hire someone like this before. I tell them what I want and seems to understand, because they kept assuring me that it will deliver the project as I wanted. The project lasts for weeks to be done within those weeks I get no review or information on what is happening. I contacted both free and all I get in response are: "Thank you. The project is good." Ok, let me see? Once that is done, I receive it, and it's not the worst thing, but certainly not what I was looking for. * Returning please .*
Overall Deal
If you're wondering why you never get hired or rarely get hired maybe you should look into how you come across to your target. It can not be that you have a bad designer or developer, this might be something completely different. There is a lot of competition out there and you should be proud of what they can bring to the table. Consider opening your own website. This will help track your accomplishments. Be yourself, show
