Step 4: Work Experience
Work experience tells buyers that real clients or employers have trusted you with this kind of work before. Each entry is short — a job title, the company, and the years — so add the roles that back up what you sell, and use the Add work experience button for as many as you like.
What Counts as Experience
What Each Entry Asks For
| Field | What to write |
| Job Title | The role you actually performed, named the way buyers would recognize it |
| Company Name | The organization, or a client's name — “Freelance client” is fine if it's confidential |
| From / To | The years you held the role (e.g. 2021 to 2023) |
If You Are New to Freelancing
You probably still have something worth listing — a previous job in another field (name the title, the transferable part shows through), an internship, or quality work done for a community organization.
If you truly have nothing yet, skip this step and put your energy into a strong portfolio instead — that is what carries a new profile.
Best Practice
The job title is the part buyers read here, so make it specific. “Master Electrician” says more than “Technician,” and “Wedding Coordinator” says more than “Event Staff.” There is no long description field — let the title and company do the talking.
Important
Only list roles you can speak to. If a buyer asks about one and you struggle to answer, it does more harm than leaving it off.
