[0:00]so I'm doing it I'm on upwork putting my
[0:03]profile together oh my God you know what
[0:06]I showered in my own shower today I look
[0:08]so good I cleaned out my shower and I
[0:10]used it for the first time it was
[0:12]amazing I'm going to do that from now on
[0:15]anyways let's stay focused here I paid
[0:19]for their
[0:20]membership myself signed up on this
[0:22]stupid thing I already have some
[0:25]statistics $4,000 earnings cuz of my job
[0:28]that they had for 10 years I
[0:31]um I actually wrote this review myself
[0:34]and it's ridiculous we have worked with
[0:36]this freelancer since 2015 he is
[0:38]spectacular he has a deep breath of
[0:40]knowledge a creative mind great project
[0:42]management skills deep programming
[0:44]experience and he's an absolute joy to
[0:46]work with I am not side note he manages
[0:50]all of our developers that we have we
[0:52]hire on upwork and other services he
[0:54]wanted to give up work a try himself but
[0:56]we didn't feel their systems for
[0:58]external hires were very good and it
[1:00]didn't appear we could do anything to
[1:02]help him flesh out a profile here we
[1:05]continue to happily work with him so
[1:08]that was April 2023 cuz I was trying to
[1:10]get on upwork just in case my job ever
[1:12]changed like I was I always thought I
[1:14]might go back to freelancing so I wrote
[1:16]that I'm basically sharing all this
[1:18]because I'm going to transcribe it for
[1:20]Claude cuz I'm going to have Claude help
[1:21]me with some of this stuff on upw work
[1:23]cuz I got to fill out all kinds of
[1:26]sections uh testimonials I guess I could
[1:28]reach out to the last two CL clients I
[1:30]had over the last 20
[1:31]years I don't know I haven't talked to
[1:33]the first client in ages
[1:36]probably 5 to 7
[1:38]years this is the problem cuz I only
[1:40]worked with two people last 20 years so
[1:42]I mean I don't have a whole lot to show
[1:45]employment history that's going to be
[1:47]interesting other
[1:50]experiences you know I could put my yeah
[1:54]this is a very simple one it's just
[1:55]subject description could put my my
[1:58]volunteering there for Park service that
[2:00]would be
[2:02]interesting um then there's a portfolio
[2:05]section where you can add
[2:09]projects yeah I got to do the portfolio
[2:12]SE portfolio section I got to update the
[2:14]skills section then there's a new
[2:16]feature called a project
[2:19]catalog where this is probably similar
[2:21]to how Guru has this thing where you
[2:23]just enter
[2:24]like
[2:25]um almost like fixed pricing for certain
[2:28]kinds of jobs and they can applied to
[2:31]that uh it's not necessarily a good
[2:36]thing hang on I was looking there's all
[2:38]kinds of jobs for laravel developers I
[2:40]do know
[2:41]laravel um so that might be a path I'm
[2:45]going to try to stay in the AI field
[2:47]though I need to update the
[2:50]description something very good like I'm
[2:53]not dedicating my entire life to this
[2:54]shent it has to complement my life it
[2:57]cannot take it over I need a good title
[3:00]right now I just have full stack
[3:02]developer project manager laravel
[3:04]Symphony
[3:05]VJs but going to have to put some AI
[3:09]stuff in there so
[3:12]um just a lot of effort to get out of
[3:15]this
[3:16]R so yeah that's where I am tonight
