"After ending my millitary service in March 2020, I was shocked like everyone else with the pandemic effect on the market. I was desperately sending my resume everywhere, contacting all my connections to help me find a job. But unfortunately (or fortunately maybe) I didn't make it. That's when I heard about Upwork from a friend and that some of my skillset can be useful there. I actually didn't believe much then in freelancing but as I said I was desperate to secure any kind of job, so I did it. After a month of applying, buying connects, applying again, buying connects again. I was able to secure my first job.
