I am a content writer with over seven years of experience in non-fiction writing (Technical writing, Articles/Blog posts, email cold pitching, product descriptions and poetry). Please bear in mind that I used to work on Fiverr and Upwork until my accounts were closed down. Since then, it has not been easy for me. Being in a third-world country, I couldn’t get gigs easily; later I decided to learn a digital skill, and I chose UI/UX design which I completed a few months ago. Here is the crux of the matter: life, being difficult in a third-world country still makes me live in my family house and dependent on some family members. I’m being bullied and harassed every other day because of this development and the environment has become a toxic one. I feel like one in prison. I even overheard a family member relating her role in my life as being synonymous with that of a god. I am very much in need of help and eager to land a job/gig in any of the roles I have highlighted in the first paragraph to help me out of my troubles. Combined with my digital skills, I dream of getting a cargo van no matter how small and getting into the transport business, but I do not have the financial ability. If there are gigs or job referrals you could help me with or you can be of help in any other way, I will be appreciative because you have just saved a soul. Please forgive me if I've made any mistake while posting, I'm just getting used to the interface.
sorry to hear OP. right off the bat, i see that maybe listing a ton of diff disciplines could scare off recruiters bc they want someone who specialises in a specific area. you could narrow your focus and then beef up your skills in that area. freelancing could be a great path to build your skills and portfolio, find friends or small businesses who could use the content help and then make it into a portfolio piece. lastly, are you getting feedback from people on your applications or portfolio? are you doing mock interviews? if you're not, you may not be aware of how your application materials are landing with recruiters and could be key in surfacing why you're not getting calls back. you have lots of folks out there who would gladly support you in your journey! don't give up!

Are tech workers as rich as they think we are?
So sorry to hear that, man. Are you able to look for contract jobs on linked in? The bar is often lower than a direct role. Don’t give up!
Thank you.
