The Millennial Dad

After weeks of applying to different job postings and taking exams with prospective employers, I finally got my first job in Upwork. The pay is higher than what I expected it to be since I've dropped my rates just to land something. I almost have totally gave up. I thought that getting a job in Upwork will be easy but it is no different on getting a job in the real world. You have to be persistent and you have to be mentally tough and most of all you have to believe in yourself. You will be declined a lot of times even though you think you are more qualified than anyone else for the job. This is where your confidence will take a hit and this is where a lot of people give up. I almost did but now here I am with my first Upwork employer. So what is next? I'm trying to make out of the opportunity that I got. I'm lucky that my client is patient enough to teach me and correct my mistakes. The work is good enough that I hope that it will turn to a long term busin
