I ask you to look at examples of my responses and tell me where I mess up or more or less.
Would love to hear from experienced upworkers.

The form found here, malbismedia.com/contact.html, currently works by submitting results to a database. However, it does not:
1) Properly re-direct the user to malbismedia.com/index.html after submission and
2) Email me the form results.
Let me know what you need to get started.

We had caching up and running on my yii project but a few weeks back it seems to have stopped working. My developer looked at it and couldn't figure out what broke it. We tried enabling ae2nmod and he had a look at the HTAccess file thinking that might be the issue but could not resolve it.
I assume it is some sort of server configuration issue or we didn't enable it properly. Linux isn't either of our strong points. If it does require digging into the code you will be required to use bitbucket and git to checkout and checkin code to keep it in sync.
I also need someone that can start right away as it is time sensitive.
Hello, I have 5 years of experience.
It's my specialization.
As i see problem in linux configuration, if you didn't change code.
htacces does not affect on caching.
But i'm new upwork freelancer, so i don't have "Upwork Hours"
So I suggest you work at a low rate.
And I'm not sure that I have english level good enough to talk, but good enough to correspond. less

Answer 2

So maybe it's not the cover letter? You're new, no wonder. A lot depends on the phase of the moon and the time of year. and there are customers who not only don’t look at the profiles of those who responded, they even look in the cover letter and see - I don’t know what they see there, but sometimes they ask me questions about what I already have in my profile , or I even wrote it in the bidet.
you can be weeded out even before your cover letter is read.

I highly recommend reading the upwork guide odeskconf.github.io/guide , as well as visiting the slack chat of Russian-speaking freelancers OdeskConf.slack.com (registration link - https://odeskconf.typeform.com/to/uWCUUl) in which already more than 1000 participants.
