by ShahzadaAliHassan - 23rd October 2022
Hey there! If you're like me, diving into the vast ocean of Upwork to find the perfect job can feel a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. But what if I told you there's a nifty trick to make your search easier and way more efficient? Yep, you guessed it – RSS feeds. Let's break down how you can set this up and filter jobs on Upwork to match your skills and preferences. 🛠️
Before We Start: What You'll Need
Alright, before we dive into the setup, let's make sure you have everything you need:
- A computer (with a backup power source, because we all know how annoying power outages can be).
- Stable internet (plus a backup, because again, outages).
- A high-quality microphone – okay, this one's more for those of you who might also be pitching via voice.
- A quiet workspace because focus is key.
- Solid English skills – you'll need to understand and communicate project needs clearly.
