Profile completeness
An online profile is the one of the most important aspect for winning a freelance project successfully. Profile Completeness, is a must for all service providers to acquire more freelance jobs and to become an established workforce at LimeExchange. Since there is no physical contact between you and the buyer, it is your profile that speaks for you. Your profile is the essential information, which a buyer would be interested in knowing before considering you for his project. Information about company, skill set, education and work experience of your outstanding employees are the key elements to acquire good projects. Hence the more detailed information you will provide, the better will be the understanding of your skills.
Online skill tests
There are hundreds of skill tests available online across a wide range of categories. Online Skill Test results, which are publicly visible, validate your credibility online manifold. When a buyer would take a tour of your profile, he would be impressed if it is validated with Online Skill Test Certification. So to win over the attention of buyers, the service providers as well as small medium need to take the online skill test in their area of expertise as certified service providers manage to get access to some real good projects faster.
