Ask Do clients on freelance platforms actually read your full profile before sending an invite?

[Brendan]

Most freelancers put a lot of time into writing their profile, listing their skills carefully and crafting an introduction that explains exactly what they do. But there are times when a client sends an invite and it is obvious from their message that they did not read any of it. They ask questions already answered in the profile or invite you for work that is completely outside what you offer. It makes you wonder how much the profile actually matters compared to your ranking or how recently you were active. Have you noticed a pattern with clients who send invites, and do you think they usually look at your profile first?
