Beginners on Upwork often struggle to get their first job because most clients prefer freelancers with strong reviews and a proven history of work. Without enough Connects or a strong profile, new freelancers can spend weeks applying without getting any response. This makes many beginners feel discouraged before they even get a real chance to prove their skills. Do you think Upwork has made it harder for beginners to compete, or is this normal in any competitive market?
