Are you doing all these assignments for a single company or for multiple clients? I can imagine that this is frustrating. The first year of my career I had to do a lot of very very questionable facebook apps. I hope I never have to go back there :)
For multiple clients. I mean, I'm trying to wade through Upwork and get some meaningful work, even if it's for competitive rates, but very hard to get someone to the interview stage, even with well written customised cover letters.
Freelance is an "industry" that purely works only with a good network of people who have trust in one another. Just hoping to build on that, more than actually struggling to get clients.
I always imagined Upwork to be a very tough business. You're absolutely right about the network thing. Trust is essential. Furthermore even if nobody had to offer some work to this point, it feels good to have some people on the lookout.
