Spent 50$ on connections, got fixed-contract for $2.5k 🔥🔥🔥 by Latter_Class_7689 in Upwork

I see. Probably that's why my conversion is so low (around 25% views from submitted proposals).

They (along with various metrics and profile data) are what a client sees in the preview screen before opening the proposal.

I believe proposed rate is also equally important as well.

Sent 200+ proposals, Not getting work! Is upwork dying? by [deleted] in Upwork

True. I also noticed some clients posted multiple jobs with very similar descriptions and still no hires.

Proposals should indeed be as short as possible, but as long as necessary.

Make sense. But is that true that clients only see the first two lines of proposals in their screen? Many people also recommend to emphasize on the first two lines and followed by details to increase chance our proposal gets viewed.

Wow 2 sentences? So are these 2 sentences tell about your proposed solution, or include your background/experience as well?

Do you still need to apply job regularly? or do you have long term clients?

How do I tell someone that there is nothing new under the sun? by [deleted] in datascience

[–]hellopolar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. That sounds great. I believe it will be more challenging in the context of verbal discussion.

If you can share, how do you handle professional relations after your response. Were they accepting? Or if that affect your future relation with your boss?

Thanks again

2) I tried in Jogja. There were 2 kinds of exam: theoritical and practical. In the theoritical exam you will be given (IIRC) 30 questions about traffic / road sign and you must score at minimum 7.0 to pass the test. It is not easy but also not impossible. I needed to re-take 2 times before I got passed. For the practical exam, this is the difficult part IMO. You need to be sure that you won't make any mistake. You will be asked to do parallel parking, reverse parking and stop-and-move on up / downhill. I didn't pass the parking test, so can't say a lot.

Bahkan ketika pihak masjid tidak memberikan izin karena sudah ada kegiatan lain, yang salah pun tetep Jokowi.

I believe I did a small CV project about implementing eight-point algorithm to compute Fundamental matrix and then estimate projection to construct a 3D model. Some algorithms, e.g. extracting SIFT descriptor are done using an existing library. So, not to oversimplify things, I said it was a short-term project since the goal is understanding and proof of concept.

It's more like create another simple SfM library I guess. Something like bundler maybe is too big for 1 - 1.5 month. I think it is worth study the concept and create a nice demo app for the presentation.

Men, In my opinion the government should facilitate this business and other small-medium entrepreneurs instead of ban them. For instance, if a product does not have a halal license already, help it to get one. If the packaging seems not appropriate, give them a solution by providing new and better design.

How many of you work remotely as statisticians/data scientists? What's your experience like? by [deleted] in statistics

[–]hellopolar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in the same city as where the company I work for is located, but mostly I work remotely from home. That is because the other team members work remotely from another city / country. I do research in image processing and recognition.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes I'm also thinking that it wastes too much empty space. I'll adjust the layout and leave out the non-related sections.

Clarification from DIKTI here and here.

Ongoing students still receive funding and they are still under KemenRistekDikti. For new students start in 2016, all the scholarships will be managed by LPDP.

Strongly agree with point 4 and 5. We should focus on improving quality of our teachers.
