Is it too early to go to the upwork?

Question

Freelance

Good afternoon.
I plan to switch from permanent to upwork, but from English. not really. Those. I read the docks, and at the basic level I understand, but with Google Translate, everything goes wonderfully.
I type in wp, I can do it in vue and I have an already developed portfolio, and I can also do a little in different whistles-farts, but the last answers on the toaster scare me that you need to be at least a middle to go to upwork and there should be English at a decent level, and not at the same level as mine.
In general, with half a year of experience and with a portfolio with 10 adaptive sites for wp and simple, as well as a small portfolio on codepen, is it worth going or is it better to hold your horses and change to a better job (now I work in a local studio for $ 100 a month remotely , but they offer to switch to $ 500, but you need it in the office, but there are problems with this)
In general, please, knowledgeable people, tell me what to do? I don't need much, but I'm already tired of working for a hundred bucks

Answer 1

Upwork has now taken to the fashion to check freelancers, you need to be prepared for the fact that they will call you via video link and ask simple questions and you must understand by ear and answer

Answer 2

On upwork, you will constantly need to write job applications. And if you are interested, you will have to communicate with customers in a chat (you will have to refuse voice communication). Can you pull it all?
Well, your level like this is not understandable from a couple of words. If you are able to take on the task yourself, light it up and do it, then go for it. Subject to the previous paragraph.

Answer 3

Why leave. Try to take orders first. If it goes, then you will recontour there. The hardest thing about upwork is getting chosen while you don't have regular clients. You will learn to work if you do not want to be given a bad rating.

Answer 4

If you ask, it's too early. Concerning English, I consider myself perfectly knowing it, But! to write concise, capacious (in one sentence immediately and show what you are talking about, and politeness and clarify and offer at the same time an option of what would be better) I sit for half an hour on important messages (response to invites, delivery of work, applications), I think over idioms, metaphors, etc. I use context.reverso.net google translate, sometimes https://www.urbandictionary.com/ just google, see if such an expression is used or not. And the first year, I worked as a translator in general, almost, I was looking for adequate translations of the terms and processes of my work for a very long time.
In short, Inlish is not an obstacle, for those who really want to work hard, but there is no lafa on the upwork.
