Ask Is it better to send a proposal quickly after a job post or to take time and write something thoughtful?

[Edward22]

There is always pressure to respond fast to job posts because many freelancers are applying at the same time. But rushing can lead to weak proposals that do not stand out. On the other hand, taking time may mean the job is already taken. It feels like a balance between speed and quality. I keep thinking about what matters more in the long run. Do you send proposals quickly, or do you take time to write them well?
