If you are a freelancer looking for work on any of the online job sites, you know just how fierce the competition can be. For every job posted there are potentially hundreds of candidates bidding on the same project. In order to be successful on these sites, you have to know how to make your bid stand out from your competition.
If you do not want to get the job, use a template. This is a sure way to turn off a potential employer. It is your responsibility to communicate to an employer that you have taken the time to read the job description. It is also your responsibility to tailor a bid specifically for that employer. Whether the job description needs articles on sleigh beds or on world affairs, every employer wants to feel like their project is a priority to you.
Use some of the job description in your bid. For example, if the assignment asks for multiple sleigh bed articles, tell the employer what your turn around time for these articles will be. This lets them know that you have read the description and understand the terms.
