I've brought up this topic because I believe there are many people who are capable of doing something but they fail because of their strangeness, I believe there are graphic designers, website designers, Translators, and so on. But they are not given a chance because they have just started offering their services so they do not have any past works to use as proof of what they offer. This has been a challenge for many including me! I ask for advice on this, dear friends.
Suppose a person is a graphic designer, and he decides to post his services here in the forum to get customers, but that person has just finished learning graphic designing so he has never worked for a single client! Now the challenge comes when the person creates his post here about his services and some people start asking about his past works while he just finished learning and he is trying to get his first customer here!
Do you think it would be easy for that person to be trusted if he had never worked for a client before? How would you interpret this person, would you dare to give him your work?
Okay i understand your point and will tell you that I have also experience in graphic designing and have used som software like AI and PS and do some freelance work also aside from my job but as you said what about a person who has never worked for any client before and has just started his career and how will he be trusted? The answer is if you are providing your services on the forum and has no real life work experience you will not be trusted because nobody knows you personally here and you will get paid on how you work in the past so you need to have some experience whether it takes some time.In my case i first worked on creating my portfolio with different types of artworks to show someone my work and then worked in some company for some time to gain experience and enhance my portfolio.This work will slowly take time and you need to make different types of banners, portrait,vector art and logos so that you could conceive the clients with it later on.There are many available and nobody's gonna pay to someone they don't know and is just a beginner.We all started from the same levels but your aim should be learning and gaining experience and your work should be appreciated and later on release your thread on forum with some client works and get next projects signed up.
